On the whole the arrangements on the Connolly side of the house worked reasonably well with DARTs busy but not under undue pressure. Regular Drogheda trains were heavily loaded with the near secret additional services lightly used. There were a good few DART specials but many of them were lighly loaded as they were too late to be of use to the majority of parade goers.
Of particular note were the miserable services from Rosslare and Sligo with the first trains arriving after 1200. In contrast on the Belfast line almost 1000 passengers had arrived on Enterprise and relief services by 1015.
