finnyus · 16-02-2010, 17:09

Was just looking at the printed timetable of the Galway - Limerick services and the online journey planner for Athenry - Dublin services.

It also does not seem possible to make proper day trip to the capital with the Galway - Limerick timetable!

Note: In total, you are limited to 9 services to Dublin, 7 services to Gort.

Earliest train from Gort - Dublin: 07:32* (via Limerick) or 07:33 (via Athenry)
Latest train from Gort - Dublin: 15:21 (via Athenry) or 18:41* (via Limerick)

Earliest train from Dublin - Gort: 07:00 (via Limerick) or 07:30* (via Athenry)
Latest train from Dublin - Gort: 11:30 (via Athenry) or 15:25* (via Limerick)

* quicker option
