Did you buy your ticket online?
Did you find the assigned seat didn’t exist, you couldn’t access it or it was occupied by someone who refused to move?
If you were left standing for even part of the journey you are entitled to a compensation of the single ticket price paid
Nice day out and photo op for the minister yesterday
DART+ West has NOT been funded or approved, pending on gate 3 approval and cabinet sign off which could be another 2-3 months if we are lucky
Works this weekend were notified to the DoT last November
irishrail.ie/en-ie/news/firs…
Good news, Irish Rail has/or will in coming days submit the application to the European Railway Agency (ERA) for approval to place into service for the new DART+ fleet
It will take ~6 months for ERA to issue approval which aligns with the June 2027 date for passenger service
Delays of up to 10 minutes on DART services
Delays inbound Dublin Heuston due two trains with technical faults at Portlaoise
Major delays at Greystones
0654 Greystones/Malahide broke down, once getting to Greystones empty and again on the way towards Bray
Some of the works this weekend
Platform 3 points at Dún Laoghaire replaced, these have been a source of many delays
Delays on some services to/from Dublin Heuston due to overrunning engineering works

Latest update, assuming no further delays at Government/NTA for approval
DART+ West 2032
DART+ South West 2034
Not unexpected the usual legal posturing has started
Interesting the TMS demo Indra were running last month at a trade show was using the Rosslare line, if they have it deployed and in services elsewhere why use the failed Irish Rail code?

No surprises here, unfunded, under resourced and a multi decade backlog of undelivered capital projects
