[02-05-2009] Munster v Leinster, Croke Park

Just for the record, kick off is at 17:30. No chance of the specials from Drumcondra then?

Seems like the only advantage the train has over roads nowaways is that you can have a few pints.

Irish Rail seem to be very confused as usual you need to fish aroun

Extra trains to Cork are at 21:15 and 21:40
Extra train from Cork to Dublin is at 9:45

Extra trains to Limerick are 21:20 and 21:35
Extra trains from Limerick to Dublin are 9:35 and 10:30

An extra 1600 or so seats

The 2000 to Cork is also deferred to 2015.

Thomas Ralph · 20-04-2009, 15:00

It would appear that one of the extra Cork services is at the expense of the 1900 Heuston-Cork, which is cancelled, although it usually doesn't run on the Saturday of a bank holiday weekend anyway.

Mark Gleeson · 21-04-2009, 09:38

18:30 to Tralee is deferred to 19:00

19:00 to Cork runs at 20:15

20:00 runs as the 21:00

21:00 runs at 21:15

Extra is the 21:40

Looks like a lot of effort on paper but only one extra train

Iarnrod Eireann always put extra trains on the Limerick, Cork and Galway lines. They never put extra services on the Sligo line or even as far as Mullingar/Longford....is there any reason for this or would they have any plans to do so in the future. It would be perfect as Drumcondra is so close to Croke Park

Thomas Ralph · 21-04-2009, 12:44

I'm not sure there's all that many fans travelling into the match on the Sligo line...

Do we know if there are any extra maynooth services are being put on

They normally are but often they tend not to publicise it over the net
