Response from Joan Burton
"Dear Brendan,
Thank you for your email. I recently held a Transport Meeting in Littlepace
which was attended by both Dublin Bus and Irish Rail.
It seems that the delay in the time table is not caused by the Maynooth
service. It is delayed until all the timetables for train services
throughout the country are ready. The new timetable will come into effect
on January 14th.
There will be no change in peak time services in January. There will be
additional services in the evenings from town after 9pm
The services on Sundays will increase to an almost hourly service in both
directions.
The increase in service will occur when the new Docklands station opens in
March when additional trains will be put in place to serve this station.
Irish Rail have said that this will not reduce the existing services but
will use additional stock.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Yours sincerely, Joan Burton TD."
