In case anyone not within easy reach of Stanstead is struggling with the
complexities of travel arrangements for getting to/from Cork, here are the
times worked out for the Bangor contingent's itinery, travelling by ferry
and train (which I said last week at the Millenium training here in Bangor
that I would post on the list).
Sunday 9th September dep arr
Stena fast ferry from
Holyhead - Dun Laoghaire 13.45 15.25
(last check in 1 hour prior to sailing)
Dart to Dublin (Connolly) 16.04/16.38 16.28/16.44
Irish Rail from Dublin - Cork 17.50/19.15 20.22/22.18
return Tuesday 11th September
Irish Rail Cork - Dublin 14.25 17.26
overnight stay in Dublin
Wednesday 12th September
ferry Dun Laoghaire - Holyhead 11.10 12.49
train deps Holyhead 13.27/13.43
Costs (approx) £
return Stena-Dart ticket 55
return Irish Rail ticket 25
overnight stay Dublin 45
The inn we've found in Dublin is very reasonable for Dublin (for being in
Temple Bar and having a trad. pub with live music. I know, life's tough!)
and still has a couple of rooms available. Contact me if you want details.
