Good News on Transport!
Iarnrod Eireann have confirmed that there will be a full DART rail service to Bray over the festival’s May Bank Holiday weekend, this year.
For the past few years the DART has closed for weekend maintenance on the May w’end. Happily that’s not the case this year, so if you’re coming to the festival, the DART is an option!
Also, why not check out the new E1 and E2 Dublin Bus routes, which provide a commuter service from the city centre out to Bray all night. They’re not as frequent in the small hours, but check the timetable and you’ll find that there are options.
Congratulations to Poppy Daniels!
