    Trying to decide between flying to Galway and training it. Haven't been on the train to Galway in about four years I'd say. Can anyone tell me if there's there new rolling stock now? And more importantly is it comfortable?

    The train is grand. It's a mixture of new and old atm. Whats the cost difference?

    is that just the difference in cost between the flight and the train? have you factored in getting to and from the airports versus getting to and from the train stations? do you have to park at dublin airport? plus the time to check-in before the flight?

    It's just plane fare vs train fare
