There is an extra Summer only train from Limerick to Dublin to take pressure off the morning Tralee Dublin service

The only advice is to book online to ensure you have a seat, the lowest fare, or in worst case a full refund if you end up standing the whole way. Obviously booking data provides information to target resources
Prior to the arrival of ICRs on the Westport line in April 2008 the afternoon trains in each direction were Mk3s, each with a minimum seating accommodation of 300 - i.e at least 100 more than a 3-car ICR.
