My wife and I were on a cruise and ported in Cobh.we decided we wanted to see the Blarney castle…read more The lady on the ship told us to take a train to Cork and then a bus to the castle. We got off the ship and went to the train station. There were two lines to buy tickets. One with an automatic machine and one that was also an information center. The information line was 3 times as long but we waited in that line to be able to ask what station to get off the train to take the bus to the castle. When we got to the front of the line and asked the man at the desk, he refused to help us and said he didn't have time to answer questions. I sarcastically said, whatever, I guess I'll figure it out myself. He screamed at me, pointing his finger at me and hitting it against the window, saying "don't whatever me" and kicked my wife and I out of the line refusing to sell us tickets. We then waited in the other line and purchased tickets from the automated machine. By the time we got to the front of that line we missed our train. Everyone else that worked at the station was very pleasant and helpful after I explained the situation to them. They agreed that "he was just an asshole". I don't understand what his problem was. I don't recommend visiting this train station unless you know where you are going and don't need help from anyone especially the information desk. I can't understand why he was in charge of the information desk and refused to give information. I later was informed that the stop I needed was the last stop. That was all he had to say. He argued with me for 5 minutes but didn't have time to say to take the train until the final stop. Very strange.

This diminutive station is well kept and serves its purpose well. It is on the western edge of city…read morecentre and is within easy walking distance of all of the points of interest in town. The 19th-Century brick building is attractive. The portion of the facility used for train travel is smaller than it once was as Cobh has lost some of its importance as a transportation centre over time. The town used to be a major port for emigration and was, thus, much busier. But as seafaring transportation activity declined, the need for a large train station diminished as well. The nicely-presented Cobh Heritage Centre now occupies the remainder of the old station building. The convenience of the location is accentuated by the fact that the Titanic Experience is a quick couple-of-minute walk down the street and city centre is only another minute or two further. The train service from Cork is quick and easy and the station is a great point of entry. There are not many services in the station and the waiting area is small. But it is facile to navigate and easy to use.

I've gone through this station a couple of times. It's somewhat busy, but you can usually find a…read moreplace to sit while you wait for your train to arrive. The station isn't super clean but the seats are usually clean. The station isn't too far from the city centre so it's a good way to spend a day in Cork. It's supposed to have free WiFi but it wasn't working today, not sure if that's a regular occurrence or not. There is a shop and a cafe, both are a little expensive which is to be expected at a train station.

It has some benches both inside and outside for sitting at while you wait for a train. There are ticket machines and vending machines if you need a drink or snack. Two platforms though I've only ever seen one in use. The train is usually on time within 10 minutes. Since Killarney is so walkable I'd recommend just walking to your destination unless it's outside of the town centre. The taxis will gouge you if they know you're a tourist, and they will sometimes even camp out at the station exit and try to get you to go with them. Just walk instead!

It's a very old fashion train station…read more I am taking the train back to Dublin. So have a stop some where. There is no direct train. The station is very old. The coffee place open only if there is train passing by. Other wise the place is close. Not sure how m y trains coming out of here daily. Small place to hide if there is a rain.

Who doesn't love an oul dart stop, eh?…read more Dart stops in general are a bit crap, but my local on is Blackrock and I use it pretty much everyday, and I think it's pretty good. There was a mammoth addition of a little tuck shop a couple of months ago, and lord has it brightened the place up no end. We can now buy sweets, crisps, drinks and newspapers before boarding our Malahide/Howth or Bray/Greystones trains. The staff aren't exactly over friendly, but then again, I hardly would be either If I had to wear their manky uniforms.

I review the Dart Station because it is the next closest thing, but what I would really like to be…read morereviewing is the 'View from the Blackrock Dart Station'. If you ever happen to be in the vicinity of Blackrock Dart Station at, say, 6am, and are waiting for the first Dart to start running, I highly recommend having a wander over the pedestrian bridge and heading down to Blackrock's 'beach'. Blackrock at sunrise (provided the sun is visible!) is one of the more beautiful things I've seen in Dublin. Absolutely gorgeous. So get to the station way too early, climb on to one of the rock walls and enjoy a few moments of peace before your busy day begins (be sure to look at my photo, too!)

The waiting area is small but adequate and the same could be said for the train platforms. There is a small shop where one can buy a few food, drink and reading items. The normal washroom and phone facilities are available. The staff for Irish Rail are efficient enough and it is easy to buy tickets (though you can often get better pricing buying in advance on-line). The location for the station across the river from the main part of the town is actually reasonably convenient. Waterford proper is accessible on foot unless you are loaded down with a bunch of luggage. I usually stay at the Granville which is only a six- or eight-minute walk across the bridge on the Quay.
