Extra Dart services on Aviva match days

    Sorry I can't ask this in the Soccer forum due to its unique access policy.

    The FAI cup final is on later today (Sunday) in the Aviva. As the weather forecast is good and for other footballing reasons there could be a crowd of 30,000+.

    As usual for events in Ireland, people are encouraged to use public transport blah blah blah.

    Does anyone know if additional Dart services are put on from the Aviva stadium on match days ?

    Looking at the timetable there is a northbound dart after the match (Malahide bound) at 17.53 and the next one is at 18.53. If that's it, then I will drive to the stadium and take my chances with parking as I haven't a hope of getting me and a child on the train.

    There is no information on the irish rail site.

    I think there's a 1740 LDR to MALAHIDE

    Yes but unlikely to make that unless leave before the end.

    Last time I went to Lansdowne Rd, that too there was about one very close to the schulded finish, and another almost an hour later. To avoid the crush and rushing, I walked to Pearse, and quite comfortably made the hour later train, avoiding the crush and crowds. Might be worth an Idea.

    Nope we don't run additional services for big events in Ireland. Too much red tape involved

    In spite of the red tape, IR are running additional services running for the FAI CUP FINAL

    Extra darts before and after match. 2 specials back to Dundalk and Cork from Connolly.

    I am truly surprised. Well done Irish rail. Last time I considered getting the train for the Dublin game in Kilkenny there was no special

    Thanks, I saw this too late so parked in Irishtown/Sandymount without hassle.
    If Irish rail had published there were extra Darts, I would have taken the Dart.

    Got the dart back into town after the match yesterday. Small bit of a wait with the crowd but well managed
