Ideal for all those upcoming Christmas parties and nights out.

  The Christmas season is truly upon us, and given it's our first Christmas with no covid restrictions since 2019, we have a feeling there's going to be a lot of parties. Irish Rail have announced their late night Christmas DART and commuter routes, stating on-site,

"The services will operate across the DART network, as well as Commuter services to Maynooth, Dundalk, and to Kildare (via the Phoenix Park Tunnel)"

These trains will run on Fridays and Saturdays in December, including New Year's Eve. https://twitter.com/IrishRail/status/1597906390227750914?s=20&t=iB8KsPP8bylyDsu7wvbKJw
