If I'm not mistaken, the new timetable is now online at irishrail.ie
It is only valid to 2nd Oct 07 - I assume this is linked into Spencer dock completion.
Without analysing it too much, there appears to be no new services at all for commuters on the Northern suburban line. Timings have improved by 1-2 minutes.
The lack of evening services still continues, and in general the other off peak services are still poor.
There is still a big gap on a Sunday returning from town. There is only 1 service between 3.30pm and 7pm. I think this puts off most familes from using the train to go into town on a Sunday, as while the services will get them in, they are not prepared to wait for hours to return. I really hoped this timetable would have seen this gap addressed.
