Iarnród Éireann has a nationwide rail network. The Intercity routes cover major cities and towns around the country.  Commuter Rail covers commuter routes to Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. DART serves Greystones to Howth/Malahide.

For your own comfort it is best to avoid rush hour times. These are approximately between:

• 07:00 hrs and 09:00 hrs and between
• 17:00 hrs and 19:00 hrs weekdays

Friday afternoon and evenings are very busy on Intercity routes. Intercity trains are also very busy on Sunday evenings returning to Dublin.

Intercity passengers should arrive at the station 30 minutes prior to departure. If you are collecting a reservation or purchasing a ticket especially during our peak travel times please give yourself more time.  Gates will close 2 minutes before the train departs.
