* Commuter, Cork-Dublin-Belfast and Rosslare-Limerick-Ballybrophy excluded. Connolly-Rosslare is still a mix and match.

![]() 9 car operation as in 6+3 has been tested several times, but is of extremely limited use due platform lengths

![]() Any idea of when IE plan to allow online bookings (and with it hopefully cheaper fares) on Wexford/Rosslare services?

![]() Booking is probably first quarter 2010
I got a 10 euro day return Rosslare Dublin in November so cheap fares are most certainly available

![]() Then Irish Rail should change the service to "Railcar" as it is currently "InterCity" on the website.
