Irish Rail has revised its new timetable after its first attempted led to long delays and many angry customers. Photograph: Eric Luke’s new timetable, which was supposed to signal the removal of “long-standing congestion issues particularly during peak periods”, the changes – at least in the Dublin area – have caused long delays and provoked commuter outrage.
Three things were to blame. The first is the disruption to services to and from Connolly caused by the introduction of hourly services on the Belfast Enterprise route. This was manageable in the past, but provision in the new timetable for the move of the Dublin to Belfast Enterprise service from a two-hour frequency to a one-hour frequency caused disruption and congestion for commuter trains.
Obviously, not all of these northern and western services can avail of platform five, which is the platform that allows southbound services to continue on to Tara and Pearse stations and beyond.
