It is a ridiculously long journey that should be a lot shorter and in no way are we getting any value for the amount we pay for a ticket. I am fuming and completely disheartened and now have to approach my manager with the new timetable to try work out what hours I can work (as they will have to change) in order to get to and from Dublin. Not one of the trains to and from Dublin corresponds to allow for an 8 hour working day no matter when you start or finish those 8 hours. Don't even get me started on the lack of a late train either, total joke all round
100% agreement! I heard a comment a good while back from someone living in Gorey to say if even there was a 2-coach 2600 set running from bray or Greystones to Gorey at 10.00pm people would use it! people would take the dart to greystones and connect with it!

For some reason CIE think that all people on the gorey line want is 22ks. For people who work later than 18:30 this is irrelavant. There are a few people on the line I know who dont care! They prefer frequency and timing over train types! Stick a 29k on the line at 21:00hrs.

Same logic applies with Mullingar passengers. Stcik a 29k on that line and run it after 21:00hrs, and you can be gauranteed it will be used!
