lots of questions from a rail novice

Thanks Mark,

It won't be for a week or two Colm and there's still a possibility I could go by car, but with my disabilities I have to plan ahead and know roughly what I'll be facing.

I'm back again with more questions I'm afraid

I didn't end up travelling by train on the occasion talked about above but will be travelling from Longford in the next week or so and as I don't have a set time to be in Dublin I was wondering is there a list of which trains are running on which services? if there is could someone point me towards it as I'd like to avoid the shoddy ones and try to get the more comfortable ones both up and down.

Also with the travel pass is there only specific types of tickets available or could I get a five day return? as it could be a day or two after before I come back down.

I always assumed that on the Sligo-Dublin line that all the seats are the same standard but someone said to me recently that I should get a super standard seat as I'd have more room and comfort, is there super standard seat on this line?

Thanks for all the help and again please excuse all the questions.

On a travel pass you can only get a single or day return ticket. Cash fares are either single, day return or monthly return

With the exception of the 9:05 Dublin Sligo and 13:00 Sligo Dublin all weekday trains are modern new intercity trains.

On rare occasions a train with first class may appear on the Sligo line, that said its first come first served to get a first class seat as there is no extra charge for them in this case. There is no difference in leg room or seat regardless.

With your travel pass only cross-border tickets can be issued valid beyond the day of issue; you will need to get your ticket back at the station on the day of your departure.
