Touring Ireland by rail Sept 2009

[david673]

Hello everyone,

Fir the 3rd year in a row the wife is allowing me to spend 5 days travelling on the Irish network!

I will be visiting mid September and have a few questions?

1. Will the Ennis to Galway line be open?

2. Is the the daily afternoon Limmerick Jctn to Rosslaire service reliable? In that does it run on a regular basis?

3. Is the morning Ballybrophy to Limerick service via Nenagh a reliable runner, especialy on Saturdays? (i don't want to be put on a bus)

4. Is the Tralee & Dingle railway still out of action?

5 Can anyone recomend a decent hotel near to Heuston station?

So many questions!!

Thanks in advance,

David
