Anyone planning to travel by train to Croke park this Sunday for the All Ireland Football Qualifiers, is being reminded that if they haven’t booked a rail ticket in advance they won’t get on the train on Sunday morning.

That’s according to Jane Creggan of Iarnroid Eireann.

The company is providing a number of Special trains in addition to its regular Sunday services from Castlebar, Roscommon and Galway.

A number of listeners who contacted Midwest News earlier this week expressed their disappointment that there is no Special train this Sunday morning from Ballina station to link up with the Castlebar service.

Jane told Midwest News today that the company’s resources are stretched providing transport to so many west of Ireland fans this Sunday, and apologised that there is no train service from Ballina.
