Railline along the royal canal

irishguy · 07-05-2009, 20:37

Can anyone tell me what trains run along the royal canal? (By drumcondra) and what kind of frequency would they be?

Maynooth line http://www.irishrail.ie/your_journey...nooth%2009.pdf

Its a bit hit and miss

The section alongside the Royal Canal actually in Drumcondra is served only by trains to Docklands (these don't serve Drumcondra)

Hi,

Check out eiretrains.com. (Thanks Ciaran).

If you start at Docklands station to Newcomen, Glasnevin etc there are some great photos of the line by the canal

it's a great site for history and photos.

BTW - it has some new photos of the Dunboyne line construction.

When the line to Dunboyne opens it will be 4 trains per hour peak, 2 off peak, that will be mid/late 2010

It's worth noting there are no stations in the Drumcondra area for the Docklands line, only options are Docklands station on Sheriff Street or Broombridge station in the Cabra area.
