NEW MORNING TRAIN FROM GALWAY TO DUBLIN ANNOUNCED

Date Published: 10-Nov-2009

There’s good news for Galway rail users now that Iarnród Éireann is to extend its Dublin service.

Up to now, there has only been two trains to Dublin in the morning at 5.20am and 7.15am.

However from the 29th of November a new early bird train will leave Galway at 6.05am, arriving in Dublin at 8.50a.m. daily.

Iarnród Éireann has also announced that it will run a new service from Dublin to Galway at 3.30p.m daily.

The new service is being brought in by using a ‘split and join’ approach, where trains are split to start with, and join up in Athlone on the way to Dublin and similarly on the way back.

Jane Cregan of Iarnród Éireann says the new times are in response to demand.
