Significant timetable changes to DART and Commuter – Northern Commuter and Belfast Enterprise Customers asked for specific feedback on two options for services
- In recent years, enhancement in levels of service on DART & Commuter routes has intensified demand for track space at Connolly Station. Several corridors converge to serve the Central Dublin Stations – Connolly, Tara Street and Pearse. At peak times, minor delays to individual trains can result in long lasting subsequent service delays due to the congested nature of the infrastructure.
- With the introduction of an hourly Enterprise service between Dublin & Belfast as part of this timetable change and changed travel patterns in this post Covid period, a number of timetable alterations are proposed to improve traffic flows around the Connolly area and to improve service punctuality. The changes applied will see a more regular pattern of service on these routes, better spacing of services between Connolly Station & Pearse Station & increased use of Grand Canal Dock Station for peak commuter services.
- To enable these improvements there may be occasions where customers are required to interchange at a city station to continue to their final destination, as is common practice on busy Commuter Rail Networks around the world. These changes will provide performance benefits to all routes around the City Centre area and will reduce the large impacts which even minor delays currently cause to the timetable.
- Two options have emerged to deliver the clockface hourly service for Dublin/Belfast and accommodate the existing twice-hourly off-peak Drogheda/Dublin Commuter service. Iarnród Éireann and the NTA ask customers of these services to consider the trade-off between journey times and even headways of service and to give us your views:
- Option 1
- Hourly Dublin/Belfast service – end to end journey time range 2:08-2:12;
- Hourly Belfast/Dublin service – end to end journey time range 2:11-2:17;
- Frequency of off-peak daytime Drogheda - Dublin Commuter services – 20 minute gap, followed by 40 minute gap.
- Every second Drogheda/Dublin off-peak daytime commuter services commence/terminate at Grand Canal Dock;
- Off-peak daytime Drogheda/Dublin Commuter services end to end journey time range: 0:55–0:56
