Charlie Endell Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Is 60 days in advance the earliest you can purchase? That rings a bell. I've just had a butcher's on their website but couldn't find anything stating the number of days (although I have found it before...).

wanderer Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 cant book Belfast to Dublin on irish rail site , transfers u through to translink/enterprise which only lets ya book 28 days in advance I remember trying to book tickets not being all that straight forward last time (as you said, you would get redirected from one site to another, then back again), but was sure I booked a return ticket on the one site (granted it took a bit of looking about to figure out how to do it).

Charlie Endell Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thurles - Dublin tickets booked as 13th June became available today - a snip at 15 Euros (you can travel Cork to Dublin for the same price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Booked Heuston - Mallow (tickets now available up to 14th June) today for 15 Euros. Again superb value and IR could teach Scotfail a thing or twelve about booking online (you're shown the layout of the carriage and asked to pick your seats - user friendly into the bargain). I've travelled on the Cork - Dublin line before and the trains are clean and modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martino Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What are the best stations to book? We are flying over to Belfast City Airport then looking to get train down to Dublin. Is there a train station at Belfast City Airport?? Is Heuston the most central station in Dublin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 There is no train station at Belfast City. There's a bus to the train station though that takes 10mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heuston is for trains serving south, southwest and west Ireland (the main route being the Dublin - Cork line). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scot scotland scottish Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 There is no train station at Belfast City. There's a bus to the train station though that takes 10mins Not doubting you for a second (I've never even been to Belfast). But a look at google maps seems to shown a station called Sydenham pretty much opposite the airport. Is it a bit further than what I perceive it to be? Bus to city centre to get the train down to Dublin definetly the best option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used the bus every time I've been before and never had any issues with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washboarder Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) yes Sydenham , titanic quarter then central change for Dublin enterprise train, train aprox every 10-15 mins, about an 8 minute journey or a taxi. taxi no more than a tenner from Belfast city airport to central. or if you have a bit of time to spare bus into city centre alight at city hall.
