You will note a new level of honesty in the printed timetables. This is as a result of EC/1371/2007 which requires certain information such as carraige of bicycles. Rail Users Ireland together with various cycling groups have met with Irish Rail and sought significant changes in the manner in which IE deals with bikes, first point - tell us which trains bikes can be carried on

Unlike European timetables there is no indication of which trains are intercity (e.g IC) operated and which are regional
commuter trains (e.g RE/RB).
You will also note Irish Rail finally admit in public to the messy bus transfers in Ballina on Saturday
