Dublin Connolly station is served not only by long-distance trains, but also by suburban trains (#DART : Dublin Area Rapid Transit). These run every 10 minutes along the coast to the Irish Sea, north and south of Dublin. Most of the rolling stock was built in the 1990s. Some of the newer models date from the early 2000s. #BlankSpots

In Dublin city centre, the #DART runs on an elevated line with stops every 600–1,000 metres. In some places, the trains pass apartments that are just two metres away. Sometimes, a commuter or intercity train with fewer stops comes between the DART trains. However, they are no faster than the DART trains, because overtaking is not possible. #BlankSpots
