Extra train services for Ireland v Italy Six Nations clash 'selling fast' Irish Rail warns
Many intercity services now sold out ahead of home Six Nations game at the Aviva Stadium this Friday.
Irish Rail have warned rugby fans that intercity services to Dublin are selling out fast ahead of Ireland's Six Nations clash with Italy at home in the Aviva Stadium this weekend.
Extra services have been scheduled by Irish Rail between Dublin Heuston and Cork, Athlone and Galway to cater to the surge in demand from avid rugby fans this Sunday, February 11.
These services include, 8:15am Cork to Heuston, 10:45am Athlone to Heuston and 7:20pm Heuston to Galway.
In a social media post this Friday, February 9, Irish Rail warned that many intercity services are now "sold out and others selling fast for travel this weekend".
They also reminded passengers that "tickets are valid on the selected service only", and that alcohol is not permitted on any services.
To get to the Aviva stadium from Heuston, the easiest way to travel directly to the ground is to take the DART.
Passengers can take the Luas to Connolly station, then the Bray/Greystones DART line which runs under the west stand of the stadium and stops at Lansdowne Road Station.
Extra DART capacity will be added before and after each game for supporters going to the games.
