Irish Rail

Are we subsidising the nordies or what?
Half the price to travel to a different country.

Shower o wankers.

Tomorrow, the flexible fare from Dublin to Westport (around the same distance as Dublin to Cork) is €21.99 single. It's €19.99 to Galway. It's €31.99 to Limerick.
Dublin to Cork and Limerick seem to be subsidising the rest of the Intercity network.
And if you want to go further afield, the British Rail website is showing a single fare of £39.50 from Dublin Ferryport to Manchester tomorrow morning.

Going up on Monday. It was 84e return times that suited best. No hope I was paying it.
Taking the 6.15am which is 20e cheaper.
You'd be in the UK for cheaper

Rail travel in the UK was extortionate the last time I used it - hadn't pre booked.

Apparently the Cork to Dublin line is upgraded compared to other lines. So we are paying a premium to travel faster.

The Cork to Dublin line is actually horrific.

Half of it is like being on a roller coaster.

The germans need to be brought in to fix the lines.

And everything else.

Nice try at a save m8.


Not buying it.
Posted your rail tickets in the dead child thread. Blind panic, then 8 mins later start this thread.

You're only making it worse

Premium my hole, I suppose the Celtic Spring water which they charge €2.35 for on the train is premium too as opposed to the same bottle that retails for €1 nationwide.

I was looking at getting a train from Limerick City to Dublin and it was almost half price to 5 miles outside the city to Castleconnell train station, if the trains was cheaper more people would use them and yes I would pay a premium for speed and comfort but €60 quid is pushing it.

The aircoach has shown how insanely expensive it is. And 3 hours by rail? A joke
