Also, not all 22k sets have bike racks installed (I know about the cupboard). Is there plans to retrofit the rest of the fleet? |

The entire fleet is to be fitted and should be at this stage, the rack is in the A3 coach so 223xx numbered, thats the coach with the wheelchair space. We are waiting for a bike sticker to be placed on the door as well
22k has a serious performance advantage beyond Hazelhatch

I see my early morning train from Dundalk is leaving 5 minutes earlier but still gets to dublin around the same time, with the extra stop in Gormanston...
I was hoping the 09.10 enterprise would remain but it looks like its gone... overall Service from/to Dundalk is as bad as ever |

I also see the 18.40 from Connolly no longer serves Dundalk!! So it pushes more people onto the 19.00 enterprise

What is it with the IE website. The new printed timetables are available in PDF format, but some of the files won't open, and one gets an error message: "error regarding linearised hint data".
This has happened on two separate computers at different locations, so it seems to be an IE problem. Having links to PDF files which can actually be downloaded is not exactly rocket science! |

Just tried every single one of the 2010 pdf's no problems at all
There are in pdf 1.2 format which is quite old so even the most simplistic pdf reader shouldn't have any problems

I've been looking at Dublin-Athenry-Gort/Ennis connections. Without the full timetable it's hard to know what the comparative times to Ennis will be like but this is what I have so far (Mon-Fri)
Dublin towards Ennis at Athenry Arr from Athlone WB, Dep from Athenry SB Arr XXXX Dep 0656 (no connection) Arr 0957 Dep 1003 (6 minutes) Arr 1149 Dep 1226 (37 minutes) Arr 1347 Dep 1446 (59 minutes) Arr 1648 or 1747 Dep 1741 (53 minutes or no connection - how about delaying 6-7 minutes lads?) Ennis towards Dublin at Athenry Dep towards Galway ex Ennis, Dep towards Athlone EB Dep XXXX Dep 0518/0618/0718 (no connection) Dep 0808 Dep 0918 (1h10m) Dep 1119 Dep 1118 (assuming arrival 1118 maybe a connection there) Dep 1335 Dep 1318 (no connection) or 1518 (1hr43) Dep 1556 Dep 1818 ( > 2hr) Dep 1945 Dep 2228 ( > 2hr) Unless I'm reading this wrong, it seems like an anti-Palerailer has infiltrated IE timetabling dept |

That was never a risk, full ATP is provided on the entire DART route

ICRs on Cork route?
On the new timetable, the 0800 and 0900 ex-Heuston and the 1130 and 1230 ex-Cork are shown as having 2nd class only. Could these be the mooted 3-car ICR services?

Yes they are ICR services. Passenger numbers on both are very poor. That said expect Mk4 operation on Fridays
The 10:00 from Dublin was notorious for carrying 50-60 people midweek leaving 350 seats empty. Despite not being Mk4, I'm told a train host will travel onboard

there is only ever likely to be one DART on that section.

I'm probably not going to renew my annual commuter this year, I've had enough, I'd rather drive. Quote:
On the old timetable, the longest gap was 30 mins and everything else was under 25 mins. There's only 9 gaps a day of less than 15 minutes Overall the new timetable is worse than the old one. |

For some reason CIE think that all people on the gorey line want is 22ks. For people who work later than 18:30 this is irrelavant. There are a few people on the line I know who dont care! They prefer frequency and timing over train types! Stick a 29k on the line at 21:00hrs. Same logic applies with Mullingar passengers. Stcik a 29k on that line and run it after 21:00hrs, and you can be gauranteed it will be used! |

There should be a late train than 18.30 its almost 2010 and still we see 18.30 for the last service. I am really disappointed about the new timetable. The timetable I uploaded which I got from IE on 28July would have suited alot but still the last service is 18.30 WHY |
