Someone clearly has too much time on his hands...
Very slow service all the same |

Joking aside, though, who should I tell to get this fixed? We all know it's a mistake, but a visitor to the country wouldn't...

If you search connolly to heuston on the irish rail website now you have the most frequent bus/laus service in the world.

Its a fake
IE don't use Arrow they use Railcar in the 2007 timetable The times are the same as the bus Someone is either photoshopping it or playing a trick by sending faked data to the IE server which you can do See below its real easy, 2009?? |

But somethings been disturbed on the irishrail website. I searched for connolly to heuston on the irish rail website and there is a bus/luas every minute from 00:00 onwards. If you go into information it just states departure time from connolly and arrival time in heuston

Try it for yourself! Go to www.iarnrodeireann.ie/dart or www.dart.ie - both go to the same place. Enter 'Pearse' and 'Heuston' into the Journey Planner on the left-hand side. See what comes up. Basically it is using the 'old' iarnrodeireann.ie journeyplanner (without ticket booking etc) rather than the 'new' irishrail.ie one. And yes, I know you can't get a Dart from Pearse to Heuston; I only ended up doing this by mistake cause I wasn't concentrating...and it's easy to fix by routing timetable queries from the DART site to the irishrail.ie journey planning service. Still, I think it could confuse a tourist. Last edited by packetswitch : 21-01-2007 at 22:08. Reason: URL-fix |

Is it a case of someone typing in a maintenance working or something into the database by mistake? DARTS and others regularly go to Inchicore for maintenance.

Its a screw up by someone in IE, its as if someone put it in for us to find
Anyway the DART transfer is Pearse Inchicore direct on Tuesday mid morning without a change and it takes about 20 minutes in total |

Well it just goes to show IE read the board, the underground has been removed and replaced with Bus/Luas
Hopefully the practical joker who set it up gets what coming to him/her |

Ah, I feel the sense of power, having (indirectly) caused something wrong with the world to be fixed

They must do it just to wind you up I'd say they have a betting ring in the office with odds on "how long will it take Gleeson to notice this" |

And a hidden camera (or worse!) trained on seat C33. DO NOT ACCEPT THIS SEAT WITH ONLINE BOOKING.

I always book seat C33 on Mk4, window on the Inchicore side facing Dublin, used to be A34 in the days of Mk3.
I'm consistent, good for ride quailty evaluation and so on Also C33/34 seem to have more legroom Sit in C33 have a look under the table... and no its not a power socket |

There are a few hidden gems
Put in Glanmire and it will correctly give you Cork, before it was Cork Kent it was Glanmire Rd, there where 3 stations in Cork in times of old Westland Row,Amiens Street, Kingsbridge don't work if Glanmire does they should talk about consistency... |
