Yes they are.

There certainly is an opening welcome announcement in Irish on every Aer Lingus flight and a closing one - they are both simple one/two liners. Everything else is in English.

Thanks a million for this - yes I did think that there might have to be a switch to 4 diagrams from 6 sets - it's too tight really otherwise.

@sd0733 First of all can I just thank you for all of the updates that you post here - they are very much appreciated, and they do give a great insight into the complexities of operating a relatively small fleet of trains. My question is whether either of the two spare DVTs that TfW have had the...

Well someone with the word “Irish” in their user name tends to be Irish! ;-) But seriously, you’re better off just accepting it when you know that you were at fault (even if it was a memory slip).

Here in Ireland the Constitution lays out that each constituency be a minimum of 3 seats, and while the total number of members of parliament (TDs) can be changed by law, that total number shall not be less than one member for each thirty thousand of the population, or at more than one member...

It's a bit more than that for the high season during August to be fair. Aside from these there are some retimed services. West Wales Sunday additions (Westbound) (To 27 July) 08:20 Carmarthen-Milford Haven 08:14 Swansea-Pembroke Dock West Wales Sunday additions (Eastbound) (To 27 July) 09:35...

And do you think Iarnród Éireann would let you off scot-free? The fixed penalty here in Ireland is €100 plus the unpaid fare. Cut your losses, pay the fine, and move on.

Cambrian mainline Sunday additions 08:31 Shrewsbury-Aberystwyth replaces 09:47 Machynlleth-Aberystwyth until 14 September North Wales Sunday additions 06:21 Chester-Holyhead (to 14 Sept) 17:16 Cardiff-Holyhead (03 Aug-14 Sept - Note 13:30 Cardiff-Holyhead is curtailed to Chester during this...

It’s valid in Dublin City Zone 1 The new Dublin City zone details are here: https://www.transportforireland.ie/fares/new-fare-zones/

The regular LEAP card epurse also offers 30% off cash fares on every PSO bus service across the entire country.

This is just you speculating all over again - can we please keep this thread to what is happening? There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the rollout of the Class 398s will be changed.

That’s not a connection - you need to allow a minimum of 30 mins at Holyhead given the remoteness of where ships dock.
