    Have a search between 456 to 457Mhz, 461 to 462Mhz and you should pick up something for Irish Rail

    you hear a continous tone until someone makes a call. It sounds as if it's full duplex between the driver and depot, like a phone call. Mad coverage no matter where you are (within reason)...very strong signals.

    The continous tone is a bit irritating though if you want to leave the scanner monitoring.

    Is there voice on those channels?

    It was mostly just data any time that I have monitored it.

    Most of the time I only hear automated messages for level crossings. I have heard voice but not that often though.
