Gap in the evening
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but does anyone know why there is a 25 minute gap on southbound DARTs out of the city centre at 7pm?
I am only an occasional use but I never thought I'd have a 25 minute wait at that time. No wonder people want to drive. Looks like alot of other people would have taken a train at that time too. There were probably 200 people waiting in Pearse. |

i get the Balbriggan train and the gap from pearse is 6.15 to 7.25 around then,granted there's a train at 6.40 from connolly, It isn't because of some kind of shift issue?

To match the 21-minute gap in the morning between DARTs arriving in town after 9:00?

I've just realized (thanks to this thread) after 2 1/2 years I can get a train between 6:15 and 7:15 to Donabate or Rush and Lusk by changing at Skerries.
I'd like to give a big shout out to those fine guys at IE for making this clear in the journey planner.... |

The timetable would suggest that the 18:40 Howth Bray which is Saturday only infact runs empty to Connolly platform 4 where it reverses for Fairview on weekdays all the trains around it are Mon-Sat so it fits in no reason it can't head southwards
About 8pm it happens as well |

I'm just peed off the journey planner doesn't list it.
It does tell me to go to Drogheda to get a connection to Connolly so going north to go south is within its scope |
