Freight Times 2018

[RobertRoche]

Would anyone know any general times for freight movements on the network at the moment, particularly liners or timber?

Is there much on a Saturday?

Thanks!

[Railer]

The only freight working I know of on Saturday is the 09:35 IWT liner ex-Northwall to Ballina. There may also be an up working around 15:00 ex Ballina for Northwall but it depends on demand that particular week.

No DFDS or timber workings run on Saturdays generally.

Thanks Railer,

Anyone know times for the Taras during the week?

[Railer]

09:20 ex Navan Mon to Fri. Usually passes Howth Junction between 11 and 11:30. Return working about 14:00 to 14:30 empty and laden usually pass each other between Clongriffin and Killester during this time frame. 

The next empty return can be held on Eastwall  Bank from 17:00 to 18:30 waiting for a path north during the evening rush. Can leave anytime in that hour and half window. Last laden of the day passes Howth junction between 19:00 and 20:00. It returns to Navan anytime between 22:30 and 00:30.

On Fridays they tend to run early up to an hour and the last laden may or may not run.

Thanks again!

IWT normally runs both ways on Saturday, ex NW at 9:35 as per Railers post and ex Ballina at 08:15, arriving into Dublin around 13:00..

At the moment there’s trials taking place so the down trains as deferred to Sunday at 11:30 for the next two weeks

Also, new rail trains occasionally run Waterford to Portlaoise on a Saturday
