No doubt most people who do
It’s a long weekend with a free Monday in the middle of winter and no doubt many people are thinking of travelling within Ireland.
What does Iarnród Éireann do? It will be carrying out track work on the Dublin Cork/Tralee line. It means rail journeys between Tralee and Dublin Heuston will take anything up to seven hours 12 minutes.
The 11.05 ex Tralee Casement Station will arrive in Heuston at 18.17. The 17.05 ex Tralee arrives Heuston 00.00 with three changes.
The scheduled rail travel time between Tralee and Dublin is three hours 58 minutes.
There are shorter delays on the Cork Heuston service.
Bus transfers are in place for sections of the journey over the weekend.
Why not hire in buses for the entire journey? Bus time from Tralee to Dublin is under five hours.
Ryanair charges €20 for a Kerry Dublin seat. Why does Irish Rail not use Rayan for the weekend?
Irish Rail regularly carries out track work on bank holiday weekends, there are occasions they close lines during this work or hire in buses for sections of the route. But has there ever been an extra three hours plus on a journey time?
What a way to treat rail passengers on St Brigid’s Bank Holiday Weekend?
It’s an insult to Irish Rail passengers.
There’s still time for the company to change this insulting behaviour.
