There used to be direct trains and there's still one or two a day. The reason most of the trains are no longer direct is so they could run an hourly frequency to Limerick by connecting with the Cork train
I think Limerick Junction used to have the most insane layout, where every train had to stop and reverse into its platform. However, once the trains were there, changing between them was easy. I wasn't impressed with the endless walk to the train at Heuston, or why the Limerick train was a needlessly long walk away at the junction. Not so bad if you are fit and mobile, but really awkward for the elderly. It all feels a bit thoughtless - rather like BR in the 1960s!
I keep forgetting they built an extra through platform at Limerick Junction... just shows how long it is since I was last there! Put it this way, it was Cravens stock on the Limerick shuttle and Mk3's on the Cork trains!
@@RJH1971 I guess the layout has been changed on several occasions to make it more rational. I've got a book with a track layout 'pre-1967', which shows a layout in which all trains had to reverse into their platforms, and the Waterford train had to reverse TWICE to leave the station! Obviously changes were made in 1967 and it looks very different in the video.
Scott. I remember doing many years ago the direct train from Limerick Junction to Rosslare Harbour for the ferry. An elderly lady wanted to face the direction of travel and got her group to sit so she could do that. The train went about a hundred years into a dead end siding and reversed so everyone changed again to suit her only to find the train then reversed again to start going to Rosslare. Everyone changed seats again, she should have stayed where she was. We all found that highly amusing.
And now there´s a vlogger called Scott Who´s off on the train like a shot The route he does choose it And I liked the music But the views from the window weren´t hot..... And I was left without a walkabout in the town of Limerick. Next video perhaps?.
There is a direct service to Limerick and one that goes via Ballybrophy and Nenagh. The latter one runs maybe only twice a day and is a lot less busy than the direct or one that makes you change at The Junction.
The locomotive hauled trains as far as Limerick Junction are much more comfortable. From looking at the website, the even-houred departures from Dublin are on the standard hard-seat trains. Try the other trains for much more comfort. Softer seats and a smoother journey. Also, there is a direct train once a day to Limerick at around 15.30 - saves you from changing trains at Limerick Junction
A great video which took me back to the Autumn of 1971, when me and a few colleagues were asked to go to Ireland to work for a few months. Two of us ended up at Limerick and Shannon Airport and the other two went to the Waterford Glass Company where we also subsequently ended in their new Dungarvan Plant. “Back in the Day” it was a flight from Glasgow to Dublin and then we took that late train from Dublin to Limerick arriving really late at night. What I remember most however, was that the price of 4 Pints of Lager, was TWICE as much in Dublin as it was at Glasgow Airport. Although I haven’t been back in Dublin for a few years I am led to believe that things have not changed much in that respect. 😜🍺🍺🍺🍺😂 I had the good fortune to work all over the UK and Ireland and many of your Videos bring back a smile to my face, remembering all the great times we had. Thanks,
@@Denis.Collins the last train service was back in 2010 that ran from rosslare to Waterford, the track is still in place but no service operates on it. The tracks from Waterford to cork were taken up many years ago as the Greenway that is from Waterford to Dungarvan replaced the tracks. They want to put Greenway/cycle path from rosslare to Waterford and take up the tracks
@@peterdnreynolds777 the passenger service Roslare to Waterford operated with passenger numbers in single digits for 2 years before it was axed, also add to that, the main reason and revenue from that line was for the sugar beat industry, when Irish Rail lost the sugar beat traffic it became unfeasible to maintain the track to a level for pax operations, now it is only kept to a freight rail standard to run special once off intermodal liner trains from Roslare to the west coast.
Main reason for the majority of services require a change at the Junction, an hourly service. That was the compromise to keep the improved services. Let’s hope catering resumes soon. Stopped during covid.
It was stopped because Irish Rail breached a contract agreement between the catering company and themselves, the catering company won, and Irish rail will have no catering on board until the contract end date which is the end of 2022.
I love it when I see first half of the 19th C stations in Ireland and Europe in general. Most places in the US were lucky if they had a stage coach stop, a shabby wooden hulk.
There are direct trains between Limerick and Dublin. Mon-Sat there are two ex Limerick in the morning peak, two ex Dublin in the evening peak which go direct without calling at Limerick Jn, and generally another which calls at Limerick Jn but reverses and continues without the need to change. On Sundays most trains are direct. For peak travel times there's an obvious reason to separate the Limerick and Cork services. Off peak changing at least allows Limerick passengers to connect to/from Cork as well as Dublin, and obviously makes more efficient use of stock and staffing.
You should do the roslare railway line amazing scenery And spectacular scenery. Ps there are some direct services to Limerick generally in the morning or evening
Hope you had a chance to try some local craft beer 🍺 on Limerick Treat City "Richard" Harris Pale Ale. Have a nice one down at the Curragawer looking at the river 👍 The local hotels and Steakhouses all get supplied by local beef farmers. Top stuff.
A bit off target but I've just been reading that they once had a foot tunnel under Glasgow Harbour which shut in 1986 but apparently is still there but not open.As best I can tell England has 4 you can walk through;1 under the Tyne; Jarrow to Willington Quay, London 3(Woolwich, Greenwich and Rotherhithe), Hamburg 1, Rotterdam 1, Berlin 1 , Antwerp 1 and Prague 1 but I expect that there's more?
Mm also from Luimneach/Limerick one can now get a train via Ennis (and close to Shannon airport) to Galway directly. Not going up toward Dublin and then changing along the line.
I usually travel on the Waterford line. Lucky you that nobody took your seat. I usually get a ticket on the Eirnrod Éireann app. There is no catering on any of the trains. Hasn't been since covid. Toilets are OK. Don't ever get a train on a Sunday when there is a GAA fame on at Croke Park. Anyway, You had the weather. I'm looking forward to getting home to Scotland next week. I'll just remortgage the house for the tram ticket to Gateway.
I don 't know about LNER, but I remember having my name on the little reservation screen above my seat on a trip from Edinburgh to Bristol using Virgin Trains, though that was in the early days when they were a bit unreliable but went all out in terms of service and features -- so you might not get there on time, but the train was far better equipped than modern ones.
Trains do run directly to Limerick from Dublin (Ennis train) you were on the cork train and then had to change to the shuttle to Limerick, still Limerick junction is in Tipperary
Indeed there, one should visit the Hunt Museum (not connected with horses but, like the Burrell in Glasgow, named after the man who collected the stuff).
2nd train is the class 27000 DMU built by Alstom and built off the design of the british class 156 'Sprinter'. The unit your seeing here has gone through refurbishment where the sprinter like gangway through the cab has been removed as the units now only serve as shuttle and low capacity services in the west and south of Ireland, they are expected to be replaced by 2030 by 4 car class 29000 DMU's which currently work the Dublin commuter services.
Hi Scott, in your videos can you show how much the prices cost of your journeys please, I'd be highly interested in some of the places you have been too.
@@Clivestravelandtrains I didn’t ask anyone to spoon feed me you complete tool, don’t come on here telling me what to do you uneducated fool. I asked nicely so I don’t expect and idiotic reply such as yours, now fuck off!
I thought it was a little bumpy too first time I've been on that line, but the second it was smoother so I assume maybe some of the trains have slightly dodgey suspension.
I reran the video to make sure he wasn't talking about Limerick Junction to Limerick - indeed, it was Dublin to Limerick Junction he was talking about - I was surprised given the amount of work that has been done to that line over the years. As per other comments here, it's perhaps the bogey suspension.
Lads the bumpy ride aint from the track, the class 22000 ICR is the poorest piece of modern rolling stock operating in Europe. Take the same track on a class 201 loco and mk4 set or on a class 29000 DMU and the ride quality is as smooth as silk.
Great video thanks. Not a lot of videos about on Irish railways so this was great. Would like to know what the cost was and did you book tickets in advance.
There are 3 direct trains from Dublin to Limerick at 1530 1625 and 1725. Direct trains ex Limerick to Heuston at 0525 0640 0740 and 0855. On Sundays there is a 2 hourly service for most of the day between Dublin and Limerick.
@@stephenclark9917 I sometimes wear a mask, and it's for the reasons of hey fever and identity cover. Not for looking out for other passengers in terms of safety lmao, how arrogant of you to think everyone wears a mask for that reason XD
What facts did he get wrong? The only criticism he had was about ride quality on the class 22000 ICR, the same criticism any Irish person who uses these train have on a daily basis, Irish Rail bought a cheap and cheerful product and it shows, the ICR's are well known as the worst modern rolling stock in Europe, so why should he as a paying passenger not voice his opinion on the Travel quality? If you travel Dublin - Limerick Jn on a 201/mk4 set, 27000 DMU or 29000 DMU the ride quality is smooth as silk, it poor quality is all to do with the 22000 ICR and not the rails.

@@williedesmond8201 Limerick Junction is a station in Tipperary a few miles outside Tipperary Town, its called Limerick Junction because it's where the Dublin to Cork and Waterford to Limerick rail lines cross each other at grade. Also before the Limerick Junction to Limerick shuttle service began, Dublin to Limerick trains would arrive into the station on the Dublin to Cork line then reverse direction and run around the curve on to the Waterford to Limerick to head to Limerick.
Ah thought that you might show limerick, everybody passes there, so much to see, south's pub , Richard Harris memorial, dolans pub, most of the now famous bands started there, U2, cranberries etc its my home town but now I live in Egypt, limerick is ace, and Sean south of garryowen .
