What can I say about a train station.

The building itself is nice and historic but God help you if you have mobility needs. In general trains in Ireland are expensive and at peak hours you could be standing for the entire journey. I spent 5 hours on a train the other day as it broke down. It should have taken one hour. Many people missed flights because of it so I think Ill give it a miss when going to the airport. Location wise its on the Dublin side tucked into a corner in Church Rd so you can avoid the town if your coming from the Dublin or Carlow Rd. There is all day parking next to the train station and also opposite it next to the park.

A funny station all told, MacDonagh Station in Kilkenny…read more I was on foot and tried to find an easy exit to the shopping centre next door where I was meeting my lift, but there was no convenient way there from what I could see. A quick scan of the car park and I couldn't see any sign posts for people on foot to anywhere. There were signs for the bus stop alright. Maybe there was a sign, but I didn't spot it. One of the taxi drivers there pointed us foot passengers towards the main gate as means of an exit, so I was not trapped after all ;) Speaking of taxis, that was one good thing, there was plenty of them there waiting for travelers disembarking off the train. I was getting a lift, otherwise I would have hopped in one those. On the way home the next day, I had a bit of a wait in the main building here before my train arrived. It was quite cold, so if you need to wait in wintertime, keep your jacket, hat and scarf on. The automatic doors open if you so much as look at them and the winter wind was ready to join us inside. There are ticket machines here as well as a ticket counter. I didn't try the facilities, so cannot comment on them. But there are some, which is always welcome. A-OK.

I've ridden the light rail and metro in five dozen cities around the world, including Tokyo,…read moreTaipei, Düsseldorf and Dallas. Dublin's Luas (Gaelic for "Speed") is just as good as any mass transportation network there is. The trams are clean, modern, efficient and speedy. The stops seem to be more targeted for the locals than the tourists but they work fine. Ticket kiosks are easy to understand and if you purchase and put value on a Leap card, you'll save a bunch and not have to be concerned with tickets. Just tap and go plus they work on the buses. I've not been asked to verify my ticket. I am sure that they do check them, but I've not seen it happen. The Green Line (of course it's green - this is Ireland!) opened in 2004 and with the addition of the Red Line a few years later, there are now 67 stations and enough miles of track to host a marathon. With stations across the city, the Red and Green lines get you just about anywhere except the airport. For that, you need a bus. Like lots of cities, Dublin's International Airport is a good ways from downtown. I felt as safe on the Dublin Luas as I did on any other metro anywhere.

I took the Luas tram to get around Dublin. Luas is the Gaelic word for speed. The tram is very…read moresimple and easy to navigate. There are only two lines, a Green Line and a Red Line. The two intersect each other in a simple cross shape, so it's impossible to get lost. Just make sure you are going in the right direction. Green basically runs north to south, and Red runs West to East. The lines also connect to commuter trains that will get you to further places outside the city. For example, I was able to transfer over to the DART train to visit the village of Howth.

You would think that the company would take this into consideration but no, absolutely nothing has changed since last year. Yesterday me and my friends were not able to get on the bus because it was so packed. Going home is the worst, the bus is usually packed with smelly pervs that shits themselves and the rest of us have to suffer the whiff of shit for the rest of the journey. Get your shit together bus eireann. This is getting out of hand. The amount of buses that are being sent to the 370 route is too little, people have to run like mad crackheads and it becomes like a game of survival. People get trampled on and pushed around only to make sure that we get a space to sit. I highly suggest that the company would start sending more buses to the 370 route so that us, students wouldn't have to worry about not getting a seat and being late for lectures. Also please install some fucking working ACs so that the poor non-driving humans wouldn't have to marinate in the smell of shit and sweat and so that we could enjoy the journey home. Thank you.

I awoke with with intentions of cycling back to Dublin from Tullamore, but a quick look outside…read moreindicated that it was raining. Much as I enjoy cycling, I wasn't keen on going 150 kilometres in the rain, so we decided to get the train home. I rang my oul lad to find out the times, and fortuitously enough, there was one scheduled to leave in half an hour. He also warned me, though, that there was only room on each train for two bicycles, and we had three, but I figured that we'd head down to the station and sort something out. We got to the station (a 2 min cycle from the centre of town) and made some inquiries at the ticket window. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the lady behind the counter is the most surly and sour-faced oul bitch that I should ever hope to meet. With an expression on her face like a bulldog licking piss from a nettle, she begrudgingly informed us that there was only two bicycles allowed per train. Was there not anything we could do, like disassemble one of the bikes or something? She just shrugged and took another swig from her vinegar bottle (she didn't really). At this point, another man came into the station and approached the counter, so we moved over to let him get to the window and to further discuss our options. He had what looked like an ID or swipecard in his hand, and he asked the woman if he possibly leave it in for someone. She made no verbal reply; she kind of shrugged and reluctantly accepted the item from the man, as if she had been offered a turd wrapped in cellophane. A lady who clearly detests members of the public should perhaps not be working in a customer relations capacity. We decided to buy tickets and hope for the best; when we went to the counter the lady repeated her refrain of two bikes per train. Yeah, we heard you the first ten times you old hag, give us the fucking tickets (which of course we didn't say to her face, but it was very tempting). The tickets were actually very reasonable. There was some promotion on, meaning that instead of being €26, the tickets were only a tenner, and it was only an extra €4 per bike. Out on the platform, we vented a little spleen about the harlot inside, and tried to figure out who would stay behind or what arrangements we'd make, when the conductor (I guess that what he is; yer man on the platform with the green flag) approached us. Three bikes, is it, he asked. Yes, we replied. Well I can't promise anything, but sure we'll do our best to get yiz on, alright? This spot-on chap is what turned a one-star review into a three star review. When the train came along he got all the bikes on with very little fuss. The sour-faced oul bitch on the counter should take a few pointers from her colleague's helpful approach. Tullamore Station: best to have your tickets bought in advance so you don't have to talk to that striapach in at the window, but be sure to doff your cap to the sound conductor.

Milltown Luas Stop is situated in a very remote corner of Rathmines. From the stop itself it is a…read more15-20min walk to Rathmines village. Compared to the bustling village awaiting in the centre of town when you initially dismount the tram you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the wrong place as the stop is perpendicular to leafy residential roads of the affluent Rathmines suburbs and generally very isolated in both look and feel. In recent years the stop has since been teeming with students from Trinity College Dublin whose halls of residence are situated at the top of Temple Road, an upper class road populated with expensive houses and a chapel. The Canadian ambassador also lives here in a fine-looking mansion. Furthermore, a girl's school runs vertical to the Luas stop and so the foremost sights here are scruffy students and an abundance of groomed secondary school children in a perceptible red and white uniform.
