    a day return was 34 the last time I got the train and this would allow you to get any train that day. This was in August

    Went over and back for 25 a while back. Booked online >2 weeks in advance.

    About station proce and changing train times, just ring them. I don't think it's free to change times on reservations.

    thanks guys, just got round to call them to enquire. its 34.50. I made mistake on online prices and it is also 34.50 for day I require.
    also if you need to change times there is €10 surcharge.

    Bus costs E19 return ... or E10 (GoBus) / E10.50 walkup, no booking required.

    Often gets there quicker, too.

    No competition, really :-)

    No to mention Free wifi on most of the bus services...

    I do love taking the train but as they're not convenient for travel in the evening and so bloody expensive I pretty much always wind up on the bus....

    The bus to Galway is cheaper, faster and more flexible schedule.

    Also both Citylink and GoBus seem to be using all brand new 2012 coaches now whicha re very nice.

    BTW while Citylink are 50 cent more expensive, I find their coaches are nicer, so worth it.
