The more practical point is the fare would be over 80 euro return
Suspect the fare might actually be quoted in sterling rather than Euros.

If clearance is now a desk exercise then maybe an NIR C3K set could work through from Belfast to Limerick. Still probably beyond the capability of today's railway.
