Ireland - moving around the country
Thanks to the relief of Ireland, the country was able to build a quality rail network. To date, it covers most of Ireland; absolutely all major cities are linked by rail. Trains in the country usually go at high speed. Their technical condition is also at a high level. The State regularly allocates funds for the renovation of trains and the acquisition of new wagons and trains. The wagons themselves are of two classes: the standard and the super standard (the improved first class). The cost of travel differs depending on the class of the wagon, the chosen route and direction, as well as the distance. In large cities and in the capital, suburban electric trains also run. They are designed for domestic traffic between areas of cities. Such trains run from six in the morning until midnight. The interval is about twenty minutes. … OpenNature and parks of Ireland
