    Ive been tryin to find some information about the Sea Breeze trip on the 3rd of August from Dublin to Wexford as my father would like to do the trip.

    He mentioned something about tickets available 10 days in advance so he would like to get one early to make sure he makes the trip. Could someone please give me some advice on where to purchase tickets for this trip? Can they be purchased in like Heuston Station or Connolly Station or do you have to go to a different place?

    Much appreciate any help.

    Edit i just seen that i spelt it Tain instead or Train, haha stupid me.

    Yeah had a look at that thanks, is that the only way to get tickets by ordering them through the post?

    There used to be a few agents in the Dublin area that handled tickets (CIE travel centre was one); you would need to contact the RPSI directly to see if this is the case. I have picked up tickets on the day on some of the quieter trips but I would urge you to book ahead as most of these trips sell out ahead of the day.

    Just to make certain I wasn't misunderstood, I meant the CIE travel centre, not Belfast :pac:.

    Thanks for the replies guy, i think its lookin like you have to get the tickets through the website and with a postal order. I received an email from them this morning asking was there any agents that sell the tickets and there reply was "If you look on the Events/Dates page of our website you will find a booking form."

    Edit:

    Just found out you can get tickets from agents, they mentioned 3 places a place on abbey street near the luas stop, pearse street and a place in drumcondra.

    Seems a bit harsh, the 3rd Aug is a sunday, surely running an extra train does not cause that much disruption. Hopfully you were only joking.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.
