Belfast - Cork ticket

[IrishTrainScenes]

I am planning a trip to Cork over the summer,  is it possible to get from Belfast - Connolly - Heuston - Cork?

I know the Enterprise is Belfast - Connolly and LUAS to Heuston but  how much is first class for those two trips (Belfast - Connolly & Heuston - Cork)?

It’s not a journey one would want to make in one day. I recomend staying in Cork (somhow) overnight. Maybe do the East Cork lines too.

 

belfast-Connolly has first class (unless it breaks down as my Cork-Belfast leg did, great fun sitting the 2nd half of a 6 hour journey in a 29k!), but, thanks to the ongoing refurbishment of the mark 4s. The Heuston-Cork leg of your journey will either be in the old City Gold, Or the New 1st class and it’s impossible to tell which trains have the new and improved first class, versus the old and a bit tired city gold.

 

just yesterday I was in Kent following the st Patrick’s day special trains on the east Cork lines and counted of the 3 mark 4 sets I saw, 2 of them still had city gold

Must have been Almost 12 months ago. At this stage 

 

I could find the dates

Or you can look forward to a C3k sub instead?

No. Book the Belfast-Dublin one on www.translink.co.uk, and get the tram to Heuston. Book the Dublin-Cork bit separately at www.irishrail.ie.

Atleast it was an 8 piece set…
