Ahh, wait - that only shows the fares from Belfast to Dublin.

You need to use http://journeyplanner.irishrail.ie/bin/query.exe/en - although it won't give you a fare in August, if you pick an earlier date it's 9.99 euros for a single.

Two years ago a day return from Connolly to Belfast Central cost me 30 euros, I bought that on the day from the ticket machine at Connolly station. You could book online which as TJ said is 9.99 euros single but they also charge a booking fee I believe and I couldn't get the system to accept my card two years ago so I ended up buying on the day. Irish fares information seems very hard to obtain and confusing, even compared to our system.

Well I'm trying to keep a low profile since I feel a little like poacher come game keeper.

I also don't post much on cotswolds issues and first class since - um - I don't exactly pay in general these days

I know CERTAIN PEOPLE read these forums and that is just a by product of positive developments in my life

I am working in ireland and mr mooks (aka the flyingscotsman on here - if he ever bothers to post lol) is coming over to visit and fancies going to belfast - hence the Q

Nor do I, but that doesn't mean that opinions on non cost related issues such as journey times, punctuality, frequency, cleanliness and so on are not still perfectly valid.
