I got on the 17:34 Malahide DART at Pearse this evening. I hadn't got that particular DART since the new timetable came into operation and assumed it hadn't changed, ie - it was serving all stations to Malahide, hence I never looked at the display in the station which would have told me which stations it would be serving.

Between Pearse and Tara St an automatic announcement came on to say that this train does not stop between Connolly Station and Howth Junction. Same announcement came on between Tara Street and Connolly Station. It was only after people got off the train at Connolly Station that the driver announced that the train served all stations to Malahide (I had already organised a lift from Howth Junction). No further automated announcements after that.

I find that the announcements don't seem to work properly, or at all, on most of the DARTs I travel on.
