Iarnrod Eireann are set to reintroduce quiet carriages on their Heuston-Cork services on a trial basis.
The quiet carriages can be booked online and will be clearly identified through purple branding on the exterior of trains. They have been re-established to assist customers who may have sensory issues but can be booked by anyone looking for a noise free journey.
They were previously scrapped due to widespread mobile phone usage onboard Irish Rail services. However, there have been repeated calls for their reinstatement over the years, including appeals from a Dublin South West Councillor as recently as August.
