ColmmacO · 31-01-2009, 15:51

Anyone no anything about this?
Heard a station announcement at coolmine that bus transfers in operation from broombridge around lunchtime today. Didnt hear which direction they were in operation though (BB -> Town or BB -> Maynooth).
As usual nothing on IE website,

Can anyone advise whats the story?
(Dont want to get a train into town tonight and have to take a bus from bb when I can just get bus from home).

Wonderful.
So that would mean then bus transfers for those going to the dublin match tonight aswell.
Why can't they put these things on their website?

Its just about possible to operate Connolly Broombridge with the current signaling, its still a guess but one which fits the past experiences

Irish Rail don't like admitting when things go wrong, if no one noticed it didn't happen, right?

I'd say the several hundred dublin fans travelling to croker would notice having to get off the train (those special extra services) at broombridge to get a bus the rest of the way.
but anyways....I'll keep my fingers crossed, hopefully it'll all be fine by 7pm

No reports of problems, Maynooth line is fully operational from what I've seen, everything is arriving and departing more or less on time.
