Last I heard was an update from Darragh O'Brien on 18th Dec, reporting that Irish Rail say "No changes will be made to the schedule before at least 31st January 2016."

New timetable 'out' in Jan/Feb.
I received no response from my feedback.

I wonder if they will announce the changes BEFORE they happen?

Looks like there will be no changes for now......dart drivers saying no is obviously impacting all the proposed changes. :)

Hi folks, we're thinking of moving to Donabate and just wondering what the commute's like to Grand Canal in Dublin for a 9 to 5er since the new timetable went up on the 10th?
Thanks!

The new timetable never went into effect. I know someone who works in Grand Canal Docks, and they never get a seat in the morning, but almost always get a seat on the way home.

Hi Mikekally, Timetable is here http://www.irishrail.ie/media/dublin-du ... -_2015.pdf
I used to work at GCP, 0814 from Donabate would get you in for 0850 and the 1725 from GCD would get you to Donabate by 1800.
