    Hey folks,

    I have to get to limerick tomorrow and I wouldn't mind doing a bit of work. Ideally I'd like wifi but as my laptop battery is pathetic I'll definately need a power point

    (1) Does Irish Rail have both of these ?

    (2) What about Dublin Coach ?

    Would be grateful for input / suggestions,

    cheers!

    Irish Rail might have working WiFi if it is a mark4 train set but unless you go first class you wont have a socket apart from one at each end of the carriage, down behind seats at the luggage racks at one end and out on the corridor opposite the toilet door at the other end.

    If your train is a 22000 set(8am and 9am departures from Dublin) then you will find sockets at every seat which may or may not work and it may not have WiFi at all.

    The buses wont have power as a general rule but may have WiFi.

    Wifi will be on every single train in the country by the end of the year. In fairness, this is a great achievement - Irish Rail are way ahead of most other train operators. The 6 car ICR sets are currently being fitted. DART is being done during the Summer. The sockets on the ICR's are all being replaced at the moment due to faults.

    Bus Eireann is rolling out wifi to all buses in time. All 88 new buses and coaches that are currently going into service have Wifi. The 53 new coaches all have sockets aswell.

    Dublin Bus is currently doing a Wifi trial, it is fitted to a few buses. It will be sometime yet before the entire fleet will have it. I expect the new buses coming in July will have it though.

    Most the Dublin Coach buses have wifi stickers on them.

    They got 3 new triaxle setras recently. I'm unsure about them

    They probably do have WiFi as Dublin Coach have always used it as an advertising feature
