[23-2-2008] Match Croke Park - Ireland v Scotland

Mark Gleeson · 21-02-2008, 10:04

The 20:00 train to Cork is deferred to 20:30 as a result of the match in Croke Park

This train is fully booked

Is the 21.00hrs Heuston Cork running as normal time Mark?

Any news on if there is any other extra services for tomorrow night? (I think the match will be over by around 7pm)

(Sorry just remember that there was issues with OT and rest days at the moment)

21:00 running as normal

No extra trains anywhere and I wouldn't be terribly confident in a full service operating tomorrow evening

I'm walking to Croker thankfully

Maynooth line should be fun tomorrow night then!

Last time this happened - was the first floodlight evening game at croke park, Dublin v Tyrone (no extra services maynooth line) the evening inbound Sligo-Dublin service had to make stops at Leixlip, Clonsilla, Coolmine, Castleknock and Ashtown

Any odds on this repeating iteself!?

I'm not even going to attempt to go home after the game until at least 10.

The chaos inbound on the Maynooth line last time was unbelievable, folks could not get on past Clonsilla.

Well the game starts at 5.00pm, so the services before the game are:

14:00 Maynooth Pearse (All stations, arr Drumcondra 14:33)

14:33 Maynooth Pearse (All stations, arr Drumcondra 15:06)

15:05 Maynooth Pearse (All stations, arr Drumcondra 15:39)

16:04 Maynooth Connolly* (all stations, arr Drumcondra 16:37)
* On any ordinary Saturday this service operates to Bray, arrording to the timetable this service will operate to Connolly only tomorrow (it states operates Saturday 23 February only)

So while not bad, if these trains are 8-coach it might be ok there is an hour gap between 15:05 (arr 15:39) and 16:04 (16:37) there are going to be alot of passengers travelling i reckon between that gap as it is quite close to the match.

There is a 15:28 non-stop intercity service from Maynooth to Connolly. If things get bad, I reckon (maynot happen though) that this service will stop at the additional stops, who knows?
