Late-night DART and train services will run over the Christmas period, Irish Rail has announced.
The DART and commuter trains to Maynooth, Dundalk and Kildare will operate late over three pre-Christmas weekends beginning Friday December 3rd, and also on New Year’s Eve.
Irish Rail said the late-night services will be timed to align with the midnight closing of hospitality venues under current Covid-19 restrictions.
Fares will be unchanged from regular services, it added. Customers can use Leapcards, buy cash fares at normal rates, and use weekly, monthly or annual season tickets.
The late-night services will also have security personnel on board to ensure customer safety, Irish Rail said.
