4.13 Ireland – CIE
4.13.1 Carriage Offer
• Conventional trains: IC-trains connecting the main cities. On most IC-services bicycle carriage is
allowed.
• High-speed trains: not operated
• International connections: the cross-border Enterprise service, Dublin to Belfast, allows free bicycle
carriage (not before 9:30 a.m.Monday to Friday) of up to four bicycles without a reservation system.
4.13.2 Ticket and Reservation Schemes
• Bicycle day ticket costs 3 Euro.
• There is no reservation system.
• International bicycle tickets are not available.
4.13.3 Sales Channels
• Bicycle tickets are available at manned counters.
• Bicycle tickets and reservations are not available at automatic machines or online.
4.13.4 Website Information
• Timetable search engine: available in English, without a “bicycle carriage” query function.
• Information about ticket prices and reservations: very poor information available in English. Bicycle
tickets and reservations are not available online.
• Link to Railpassenger.info: not available.
4.13.5 Evaluation
• 14th place in the final ranking list, resulting from 7th in Carriage, 20th in Sale and 10th in Website.
Bicycle carriage is possible on most trains but it is not easy to identify these trains online. Bicycle
tickets are available only at manned counters. Online information is poor.
