So whether you’re on your PC to check fares, your tablet to find train times, or on your mobile to make a booking, you’ll be able to access whatever you want on whatever device you’re using.

This has been in the works for some time, basically HTML5 trickery which makes the site fit on any screen size

It is certainly positive that it works a lot better on phones now than it did - kind of a primary requirement for any transport website nowadays.

Doesn't work on Windows Phone. Back to the drawing board Iarnród Éireann.

Which phone, screenshot if possible.

We do talk with the website folks inside Irish Rail frequently and these kind of issues can be fixed

Live Train info is a mess, Arrivals to destinations just have.

Waterford ST EST Due
Waterford (A502) -- -- x mins

You have to look in to see where the train is actually coming from and the live train data is not being fed into the system, your trains just ticks by as departing at scheduled times at all stations even if its not. Not meant on lines where data isn't always picked up but into Heuston were it should be working.

One thing I do look about the new booking system is you can now decided weather to display your name or res number and good to see Paypal is coming soon shown after you log in.
