Wow ;)

IE will deny it.

Mark Gleeson 21-01-2007 11:00

Someone clearly has too much time on his hands...

Very slow service all the same

packetswitch 21-01-2007 20:06

Joking aside, though, who should I tell to get this fixed? We all know it's a mistake, but a visitor to the country wouldn't...

ThomasJ 21-01-2007 20:24

If you search connolly to heuston on the irish rail website now you have the most frequent bus/laus service in the world. :D

One can only dream!

Its a fake

IE don't use Arrow they use Railcar in the 2007 timetable
The times are the same as the bus
Someone is either photoshopping it or playing a trick by sending faked data to the IE server which you can do

See below its real easy, 2009??

But somethings been disturbed on the irishrail website. I searched for connolly to heuston on the irish rail website and there is a bus/luas every minute from 00:00 onwards. If you go into information it just states departure time from connolly and arrival time in heuston

No no, I didn't photoshop...it's a screen capture from my computer.

Try it for yourself!

Go to www.iarnrodeireann.ie/dart or www.dart.ie - both go to the same place.

Enter 'Pearse' and 'Heuston' into the Journey Planner on the left-hand side.

See what comes up. Basically it is using the 'old' iarnrodeireann.ie journeyplanner (without ticket booking etc) rather than the 'new' irishrail.ie one.

And yes, I know you can't get a Dart from Pearse to Heuston; I only ended up doing this by mistake cause I wasn't concentrating...and it's easy to fix by routing timetable queries from the DART site to the irishrail.ie journey planning service.

Still, I think it could confuse a tourist.

Thats pure class

Mark Gleeson 21-01-2007 22:11

Just to show its not a fluke


Odds on about 9:30 ish before IE kill it

markpb 22-01-2007 09:10

45 minutes?

Maybe they're just opening up the tunnel for walking tours ;)

Thomas J Stamp 22-01-2007 11:01

Is it a case of someone typing in a maintenance working or something into the database by mistake? DARTS and others regularly go to Inchicore for maintenance.

Mark Gleeson 22-01-2007 11:11

Its a screw up by someone in IE, its as if someone put it in for us to find

Anyway the DART transfer is Pearse Inchicore direct on Tuesday mid morning without a change and it takes about 20 minutes in total

Mark Gleeson 23-01-2007 15:04

Well it just goes to show IE read the board, the underground has been removed and replaced with Bus/Luas

Hopefully the practical joker who set it up gets what coming to him/her

packetswitch 23-01-2007 15:58

Ah, I feel the sense of power, having (indirectly) caused something wrong with the world to be fixed ;)

They must do it just to wind you up :)

I'd say they have a betting ring in the office with odds on "how long will it take Gleeson to notice this" :D

And a hidden camera (or worse!) trained on seat C33. DO NOT ACCEPT THIS SEAT WITH ONLINE BOOKING.

sean 23-01-2007 23:47

Yeah, what's the story with this Mark?

I always book seat C33 on Mk4, window on the Inchicore side facing Dublin, used to be A34 in the days of Mk3.

I'm consistent, good for ride quailty evaluation and so on

Also C33/34 seem to have more legroom

Sit in C33 have a look under the table... and no its not a power socket

Mark Gleeson 24-01-2007 11:23

There are a few hidden gems

Put in Glanmire and it will correctly give you Cork, before it was Cork Kent it was Glanmire Rd, there where 3 stations in Cork in times of old

Westland Row,Amiens Street, Kingsbridge don't work if Glanmire does they should talk about consistency...
