I was on the last DART last night coming home and it left Pearse on time the train ahead was also on time when it left Pearse, there was a 9 minute gap. Needless to say we crawled the whole way to Sandymount

The Maynooth train was sitting outside Pearse going nowhere, no PA at the station to explain the reason for the delay

By the time we got to Blackrock the train was 10 minutes late and had only picked up about 20 in Sandymount.

Of course what should have happened goes like this

Two extra 8 coach trains operate departing Sandymount after the concert all stations to Howth and Bray, then 2 4 coach trains in Connolly for Maynooth and Drogheda, quote a time for departure with a note that the services may be held for up to x minutes to account for a late end

Advertise this at least a week in advance and publish notice in Herald, Herald AM and Metro

What actually happened was no extra trains and the notices well they appeared yesterday
