    also the commuters don't stop at every stop (I live in Killester)

    If you are taking a commuter from Malahide, there is nothing to stop you getting off at Howth Junction (the commuters stop there don't they?) and then getting the Dart to Killester.

    Try downloading the Next Train Ireland app. It's great for real time info on when the next trains are departing each and every station in the country.

    Public transport in Ireland has little to do with facilitating the requirements of those who pay to use it and more to do with accommodating the people who make a living from working on it.

    Only in Ireland would the unions who run a so called rapid transit service deem it acceptable for their members to stop for lunch and a siesta midway through a scheduled journey.

    As someone who has commuted regularly on many transit systems around Europe, I have never seen the regular sleepover similar to that which occurs on the DART in the Fairview Depot.

    Stuck in to become a DART driver once, they emailed me back stating you had to be the seventh son of a seventh son ( both Train Drivers btw ) conceived behind Inchicore Train Shed and delivered by the midwife on the Southbound platform on Connolly Station.

    hilly bill I was saying the dart from and to MH isn't that good on a Sunday esp with this cr@ppy weather we're having, proud_dub I've got the Transport for Ireland app (very good actually considering it's developed by a German company !) and the Dart times app. The dart times one isn't that good tbh.

    Honest question: Is there something stopping the drivers from walking to the station platform?

    yep, they probably would want a 3k payrise each to do so.
