Late night services will have security personnel on board to ensure customer safety.
A spokesperson for Iarnród Éireann said “we’re looking forward to running late night DART and Commuter services this Christmas and New Year. We have expanded services further this year, and looking forward to welcoming Christmas partygoers on board for a journey home which will be safe and help save money at an expensive time of year.”
