The earliest first and latest last departure anywhere on the line. Near the ends of a line the first service is later and the last is earlier, so use the table on the stop’s own page for a real departure.

Departures a day across the whole line, counted from the published timetable. The gap between the Luas and the South Eastern Commuter is not a mistake: the Red Line runs 804 trams on a weekday and the South Eastern line runs 13 trains.
How the Dublin travelling day works
The Luas starts earliest and finishes latest. On a weekday the first trams leave about 05:28 on the Red Line and 05:30 on the Green, and the last ones run until about 01:17 and 01:19 the following morning. Trains start between about 05:20 and 06:17 depending on the line, and the last ones are in around midnight.
Nothing runs through the night. There is no night tram and no night train in Dublin; after the last departures the city is on buses and taxis. If you are out late, the last connection can leave before the last service of the line you are on, so leave a margin when you have to change.
Saturday and Sunday are separate timetables, not reduced weekday ones, and Sunday starts noticeably later: the DART’s first train is around 08:51 rather than 05:32. Bank holidays are a timetable of their own, shown as its own column above — the Luas runs its Sunday service and Iarnód Éireann runs a reduced one.
These are published timetables, not live running. For disruption on the day, check the operator.
