The booth in Connolly does say get your ticket here!

I was tempted to go up to the guy this week to get a CIE photo id but I thought he would just fine me for traveling on a monthly pass without the proper ID.

Still waiting for the RPA to send me out my LUAS id, no doubt ill get fined on that too

Hey all, got an email back from Councillor Mc Ginley this morning, he's interested in the time a train would stay stationary at any given station, I assume to verify not only that the train was early but that it also departed from Coolmine early. I know it left early, but does anyone know if there is a set timescale for trains standing at a station? Cheers.

No set timescale but of the order of 20-40 second depending on the number of people add 5 more seconds for the time between doors closing and the train moving, of course if the train is early it should sit and wait for the clock

Not enough time to cross bridge get ticket and run back, bare in mind you should never run...

The internal timetable is given to 30 second resolution so if a train is listed as 12:50 it could mean 12:50:30

Joan's doing her bit again...... http://www.joanburton.ie/?postid=596

Another bit of ammo against IE when Local TD is calling for change.

As has been shown elsewhere

The level crossing in Coolmine shows no change in downtime
Access to both platforms is possible with gates down
Tickets are sold from the secondary ticket office during morning peak (hit miss though)
Note serious commuters would have weekly/monthly/annual

Neither of the alleged fare evasion cases resulted from the inability to buy a ticket in Coolmine

Joan of course missed the most obvious issue with a TVM and its staring us in the face from the photo at that link, look carefully
