Got the timetable information using the Journey Plan app which works very
well.

Hi Cearbhall.
Thanks for that but I'm afraid that moving around the page seems to present
much the same problem I had this morning, in that I am getting nowhere fast.
I guess I'll just contact them and get the timetable, which is what I really
want. I may try your suggestion again when I have more time. The old
automated phone call used to supply all the information required quickly and
efficiently.
Thanks again
Paul

Paul,
I just now typed the following string into Firefox "Cork dublin train times"
And here is the very first result:
https://www.virail.ie/train-cork-dublin
I am able to read all of the pages linked to this URL and I can see that it
will nominate a specific train if I give it a departure time. Try it out and
let me know if it works for you!
I have Google as my default search engine in Firefox. I think you would get
the same result using Google Chrome instead of Firefox.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Thanks very much Cearbhall, that is the way I used to do it too, just go to
the customer service desk on the day.
When you say that you prefer to use google to get train times, I'm not clear
as to what you do. When I try and get timetables this way in order to
select the most suitable train, the pdf files are all but unreadable. Is
there a better way of checking timetables?

Paul,
I prefer to use Google to find out the trains that I need if I am on a long
trip. I regularly use "meet and Assist" at every station whether DART or
inter-city and I have never let them know in advance. I imagine that that
rule is really only important for wheelchair users who do have to be catered
for in a more elaborate way than we do.
I always ask for someone to assist me at the ticket desk and, so far, that
has been sufficient. In Heuston station and Connolly station it is
necessary to go to the customer service desk to ask for assistance and,
again, I have always been accommodated without any complaint about prior
notice.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi all.
I have to travel from Cork to Dublin on Saturday week, returning on the
following day. I used to be a regular commuter in my NCBI board days but
haven't had to request train assistance for well over a decade now.
While trying to get timetable information this morning, I have come up
against illegible pdf forms and am getting nowhere. In the past, there used
to be an automated phone service from which I could get all the different
train times but that appears to be gone.
Also, I gather that Iarnrod Eireann now ask those seeking assistance to
contact them a day or two in advance of the day for which assistance is
required.
Obviously, I will contact them by phone to sort this out but thought I'd ask
for observations on this list beforehand. On the face of it, things seem to
have become more complicated since I laast used the service.
Thanks
Paul
