Train
travel is a good way to get around Ireland with an efficient network
operated by Iarnród Éireann which connects most major
towns and cities with intercity services. Train travel is the fastest
way to get around Ireland though the network is routed through Dublin
and there are few services that run north - south, and, while you
can get a train to the West Coast, it is not possible to explore
that area by train.
If you intend
to travel extensively by train there are a number of travel passes
for trains and those that combine train and bus travel. Contact
Iarnród Éireann for details.
Dublin also has the DART
service (Dublin Area Rapid Transit) - an electrified service operating
along the East Coast Howth in the North to Bray in the South. The
trains are very frequent during rush hours and connect with many
bus services.
