Customers who try to book with an International card can sometimes experience booking issues. As some International banks do not use 3D Secure, the issuing bank can decline some international transactions. If you are trying to book with an American card for example we advise customers to notify their bank before attempting to book on irishrail.ie. 

Most EU Banks use 3D Secure or some variation during the payment process to authenticate the users credentials. If you experience issues with your online booking we suggest that you try and make your booking with another debit/credit card just to rule the card out as an issue. If you are still experiencing issues please contact your bank for further information.

If you are unable to make a online booking you can contact our Call Centre

We offer a wide range of ticketing options which provide different levels of flexibility. With a 'Flexible Fare' amendments or cancellations can be made online up to 90 minutes before departure if ticket has not been printed.

If customers are unsure of their return travel plans we would advise customers to make two separate bookings as return tickets include both legs of travel on the one ticket.

For more information on our ticketing options, please see our Tickets Explained section. 

First Class is only available on Cork services and not on Limerick or Tralee direct services.

If you are travelling to/from Limerick you can avail of First Class between Limerick Junction and Dublin Heuston on services that require a change-over. 

If you are travelling to/from Tralee you can avail of First Class between Mallow and Dublin Heuston on services that require a change-over. 

When booking we would advise customers to book a standard ticket from Limerick or Tralee to/from Dublin Heuston, ensuring that you select a service with a changeover. Then you can buy a 'First Class Upgrade' at the Station or Online, to travel First Class between Limerick Junction or Mallow to/from Dublin Heuston.

To buy the First Class Upgrade online simply add the required number of passengers to ‘Reservation Only’ on the Journey Planner and hit ‘Go’. Once the results load you will see the 'First Class Upgrade', please ensure that you select the same service as originally booked for Limerick or Tralee to/from Dublin Heuston. 

Depending on the nature of the incident, Iarnród Éireann may be required to pass your information to the Gardaí, particularly if the Gardaí are investigating criminal activity on the DART or at stations and you are a witness to the commission of a crime.
