Timetable help

[K801]

Hi, a quick question than I'll delete after Monday

I'll be in Charleville tomorrow and while the parents visit cousins their, I was thinking of grabbing a train ride.

It looks like not much stops there nowadays but I was wondering if anybody knows how far I could go with a day return to/from Charleville, is it possible to get to Kerry and back? ( I cant see the timetable properly on an old phone and station office looks unmanned)

Also, anything interesting to see in the Charleville area?

Seen this cool siding in Charleville station. 

Thanks

Well from Charleville, you would go to Mallow and from there, head for Killarney and as Broithe would from there to go Tralee. Not sure if you need to get on another train or not from Mallow to go to Kerry as I used to always head from Charleville towards Dublin if I was using the train.

Thanks you. So possibly a few train changes I guess

You could get a job as a guard on the trains in years gone by!!

There is one through train on the way back from Tralee to Charleville, but it's probably too late for a 'day trip'.

From Charleville; north to Limerick, Ennis & Galway, or south to Cork or the Kerry line.

Have you gone?

We expect postcards and sticks of rock.

Yes I did, many thanks for your and everybody's help.

Was sad to see no GSRPS, Bell container terminal or KE busses in Mallow

And I did wonder why they just didn't build a new station in Killarney next to the line to Tralee instead of a parking lot and 10 minutes of faffing  about going back and forward.

No sticks of rock as no trolley service anymore because of short staffed, Covid, Trump, N Korea, interest rates, train to hot no a/c etc.
