Trains on a bank holiday

[Ron Burgundy]

I'll be running the Dublin City Marathon on Oct 31st and am thinking of getting the train up that morning to save my wife coming up that early.

Its a bank holiday Monday so i am wondering what trains will be running.

I will be going from Portarlington to Heuston. I put the date into the Irish Rail website and it came back with the normal Monday service but i am wondering is it just seeing it as a Monday or are those trains actually running

Generally all long distance services run on weekday timetable into Heuston on Bank Holidays

Services from Portloaise/Athlone/Kildare run a revised Sunday service

I put the dates in again and it came back with the earliest train leaves at 09:30.............joke of a service

You'd think if Galway could justify an 0805 on Sunday Cork could justify an 0730 with a 22K set and an arrival just after 10. Would earlier services cause work zone issues or is it just lack of ambition?

The first train out of Cork on a bank holiday is 6:15am, gets in to Dublin for 8:45

Try doing the same for Monasterevin. We have NO stopping services at all on a Sunday. Shocking (as ever).
