Il ministro vuole che i treni notturni circolino tutto l’anno e sta parlando di “opzioni” con Iarnród Eireann

Anything to avoid actually delivering on DART+ let alone the all island rail review. Sure can’t the drivers work extra hours instead

We really should have more all day transport options. I was recently trying to do a day trip to Galway from Dublin on a Sunday by train, however, the last train back to Dublin departed Galway at 18:15 which is far too early to be practical. I’m sure as well there are plenty of students or professionals who’d head back home for the weekend and like the option to head back to Dublin later.

I’m sure part of the reason things are the way they are is lack of investment in infrastructure or rolling stock or staff so I don’t trust any minister to deliver anything

I would love this but it would mean that less work gets done over night and slow down some speed upgrades. Irish rail has made serious improvements in pace rail maintenance is done but not sure if they could keep up with the reduction of hours. Maybe just later trains Friday/Saturday night would be a nice mix of both

There’s not a chance this will happen
