On November 29th 2009, Irish Rail without any public consultation radically changed the suburban rail timetable in Dublin. Despite Irish Rail denials this has reduced peak hour DART services by up to 33\%, leading to dangerous levels of overcrowding.

Northern line passengers must endure longer journeys as those trains must make extra stops to make up for the lack of DART services. This new timetable has led to significant delays as no sense is applied to the order of trains.

Despite over 1 billion euro in investment, massive fare hikes and parking charges, all claimed to fund an 'improved' service, the service is getting worse not better. It blatantly clear that Irish Rail management have failed utterly in their responsibility to meet the needs of the public.

We the petitioners demand

1. Immediate restoration of the 2008/9 rail timetable at peak hours
2. A 4 week period of public consultation to develop a new passenger friendly timetable, to resolve not only these issues but many others.
