Irish Rail is encouraging DART commuters to change their journey times during morning rush hour to help tackle overcrowding.

Barry Kenny, communications manager of Irish Rail, says the advice is aimed at those passengers who have flexibility in their commute.

To aid this process, Irish Rail has launched peaktime.ie, a resource which provides people with information on where the quieter, less crowded services are.
