The off peak DART service is a massive improvement, no question. Its clockface and consistent through the day. The huge gap after 7pm going southbound and the gaps after 10pm are gone. I know far too many people who have gone to bus or car as a result of the current farce of a timetable, with a bit of luck this will draw them back

Morning there is 1 fewer train inbound from the southside before 9, but a better spacing of trains which will improve punctuality. The post 9am situation is cleaned up as well.

Peak hour southbound there is a problem in the 5pm-7pm bracket its actually really painful to review the timetable online, we have to wait for a pdf version to see the full picture

The big question is how will all these trains to Greystones work, it looks like a direct route to chaos

Sunday service is either 20 minutes or 30 minutes, the weekday is at least every 15 minutes off peak, which is completely inline with the targets.
