Am on the 09:10 departure to docklands is a 3 coach 22k set.

The extra stops also seem to be having a positive effect

The one before that was a 3 coach 22k as well.

Waited for the 12.26 at Ashtown today (as per the bank holiday timetable).

No sign of it by 12.43. No announcement, as usual.

Another €20 for a taxi on top of the annual commuter ticket.

Fuming.

The 12:05 from M3 was logged arriving Connolly at 12:43:30

Unless the 12.05 from M3 didn’t stop at Ashtown, but if that is the case it must have passed through well before 12.26.

There was a huge number of people waiting on the platform.

............

whats the deal with using inter city trains on commuter routes, the m3 parkway train to docklands train every morning is jammed, no room to move, no room even to get on or off, come on irish rail sort it out.

really? i havent been on a m3 docklands train in a while but didnt know it was that bad! what train are you referring to?

joey · 17-11-2010, 19:42

07.40 from M3 Parkway - Docklands every morning, jammed.

ThomasJ · 17-11-2010, 19:46

i've always said it, those intercity railcars are not suited to crammed commuter services, too narrow! not enough standing space as the 29k.

On a side note, how are numbers using it from Dunboyne/m3 especially since the changes to the 70 route.

joey · 17-11-2010, 19:54

not sure, i get on at ashtown and its full at that stage. you have to run the length of the platform to get on cause the doors are are at each end of the carriage and as you say narrow asiles and trying to get on and off its hard work.

obviously they haven't enough of the commuter trains to go around, but anytime i go through Connolly loads of of them just stationed up
