Up to 12:30 I can see no justification for charging more (IE thought about it and rolled back last year)
The costs are higher, you need security staff. The DART is a loss maker off peak, I've been on trains at 7:30pm with less than 30 people aboard
The fairest way to play it is to allow weekly/monthly/annual ticket holders to travel at no cost, then lump say €2 on top of the normal fare
The whole thing revolves around how it is managed is it a once off event, ie overtime or a normal rostered turn at which point no payment. There is no shortage of trains moving around early morning its accepted practice
