This tour is now fully booked. It will almost certainly be re-routed as Limerick to Ennis is closed due to flood damage and is unlikely to be open in time. Last week Irish Rail reckoned 10 weeks minimum and there has been more heavy rain since

Two trains have just been reformed:
51525 52525 53525 53717 52717 51717
51609 52609 53609 53705 52705 51705
