New record for Ballina - Dublin!

StephenM · 20-04-2007, 20:09

I was just checking trains back to Dublin for next weekend, the only train on the 29th of April takes 10hrs 36mins including 3 changes (one of which is a bus)

I think I'll look into another form of transport!

sounds about right

Well I know someone who left Ballina at 5pm Sunday got to Athlone in time for the 8pm train and was in Dublin before 9:30pm so its clear the timetable online is very confused

Maybe its because of this.
