The private network is SSID CIE and is WEP encrypted so you can't get access to it.

It could be that the free wifi IE offer at some stations is now under irishrail_wifi as to have a seemless offering at both station and train.

The problem with some wifi cards is they will advertise the last SSID they were associated with so you end up seeing networks which don't exist in your location.

As the tender is not yet complete we can't give more details (Irish Rail won't say anyway) but we will have full details before launch. But I understand it will be free to all (youtube etc might by subject to a usage quota). The majority of on train wifi offerings in the UK are charged for in standard class so this is ahead of the curve.
