The aim is to offer a wider scope of flexible options to include services for those who need to arrive in the city earlier for work, college or airport flights, as well as those who wish to travel later in the day for events like concerts, sports games or the like. It will greatly enhance our timetable with four services going to and from Dublin daily, with additional services at peak times like Friday\u2019s and Sunday\u2019s.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
