Default Timetable Change

There is now a 7:50 Connolly Howth service operating, which does not exist in the pdf version

Once again no formal notice of this change

Default Changes to timetable

Hi Mark,
I'm wondering what the chances are of IE ever changing the timetable back.
Although the last timetable wasn't too good, it seems to be far better that this.
Are IE concerned with the problems they've caused their passengers?
I'm travelling from Drogheda and the additional stops on the 18:40 service at Donabate and Rush and Lusk are making it pointless to spend 50 minutes on the when the enterprise arrives minutes later and is only 30 mins.

P.S.
I would urge anyone unhappy with the service to sign the petition if they've not done so already, otherwise it's pointless complaining on the forum.

If things keep going the way they are, there will be a very strong case to make substantial changes to the timetable, I doubt they will give us back the old timetable.

The manager responsible was in total denial of any problems in December, the numbers we have collected say otherwise.

While the old timetable is 'safe' it wasn't fantastic either, we have prepared a new morning timetable and will be posting it here and emailing it out to all those who have complained to us in recent weeks about the timetable to get opinion before going public. Unlike Irish Rail's timetable ours complies with the physical limitations of the network.

Hmm... no doubt the drivetimes will invite you on, then once you're off the call the Information Minister or one of his minions will be invited to rubbish the whole thing as fantasy, after which the timetable will undergo some mysterious changes...

All of this has happened before...
