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

It would be great. We also need a dedicated transport police to go along with plans like this.

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

Don’t be silly, this will never happen.

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

Dublin is the 11th most congested city in the world.
Our train system is a disgrace.

There’s not a chance this will happen

Populist thing to announce after making cuts / deferrals to several major and pretty life altering rail investments.

Does he think that late night can run all year? How long have they kept him indoors?
