Ah where do I begin?

In simple terms, IE will claim lack of demand, without actually backing it up. It went on for years in Kildare re Sunday trains. As for the non-existant 22.22northbound on a saturday night, I'd say its a rostering issue. Someone somewhere doesn't want to work sat night and management say ok because it suits them.

Im open to correction.

At this point in the countries development, I believe we have reached a stage now whereby late rail commuter services on selected lines should be introduced at weekends without delay. There is no excuse. This initiative would also push the issue of transport police which are urgently needed in parts of Ireland.

DB and BE have done it and local operators are doing it nationwide.
