Oh. Thanks for that extra detail 👍
And thanks too for watching 😀
4:49 lovely irish morning! I love sunrises and sunsets 😍
Thank you for this movie 🤗
No problem. Pleased you enjoyed the sunrise. I sure did on the day!
@10:44 - the absolute epitome of smoker attitudes. No smoking signs clearly displayed and the smoker proceeds to light up.
haha yes I see what you mean! Just replayed it to have a look. In his defence, he was in the doorway to light up out of the wind and he is immediately stepping out into the plaza.
Thanks for watching all the way to end! I still have a comparatively small channel, so I'm thrilled when people take the time to watch what I've created. Thank you for your time.
👍

@Johnny Hoover Travels very good 👍 looking forward to see more videos from your channel 😎👌👍
really enjoyed the review, I lived in Dublin for almost a year but didnt have the chance to travel around by train. I really loved living in Ireland and hope to have a chance in the future to move back, Limmerick is my top choice
Thank you, that is very kind. I think I might agree with you. I enjoyed Limerick a lot!
Great video, really well filmed! Still living in hope that Iarnród Eireann will re-introduce on-board catering sometime, even just the trolley...!
Thank you for the kind comment.
Yes, it feels like at least a trolley would be handy on a journey of that distance.
I believe it’s an issue with getting staff for the Trolleys and catering is the issue unfortunately
Oh well. That is a tougher issue to fix. Still, it would be nice...
Thanks for the information 👍
Planning my first trip to Limerick. Nice video. 7:55, is that you? 😅
Haha yes! Thank you for the kind comment. I hope you enjoy your trip to Limerick 👍
I used to live in Limerick but moved out a year ago to the midlands of Ireland
I really liked Limerick. I shall definitely return.
Thanks so much for watching 👍
@@JohnnyHooverTravels aww of course your very welcome
@JohnnyHooverTravels you don't have to say ballybrophy we just call it bally
The seat is better than the first class offering to Cork was that the blue windows?
Yes, I do prefer those 22000 seats to the strange ones in the Dublin/Cork 1st class. And blue windows? Still makes no sense to me!
Thanks for watching 👍
I shaved on a train from Kildare to Parkwest was some experience haha
Haha. I suspect that wasn't using an electric shaver either! Can imagine it could be a challenge!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting 👍
@@JohnnyHooverTravels No problem thank you for the brilliant videos and I hope you enjoyed your time in Ireland. Yep just a normal Giettle razor haha, washed, moisturized my face and brushed my teeth too while I as at it haha.
Someone from outside Ireland pronouncing Portlaoise correctly? Impossible :D
Haha! I think there's a compliment in there somewhere 😀
Tbh, I had recorded the on-train announcements, so it did give me a clue. I'm not usually that lucky!
@@JohnnyHooverTravels A complement yes hahaha
How did you get his ‘airplane’ seat? Just luck? Or is it possible to select it during the reservation?
Yes, you can select your seat when booking. I used the Irish Rail app (on iPhone) when booking. I'm sure if you booked at a ticket office they could also give you your preferred seat.

Where is Limerick Junction?
We avoid it by going round that sharp curve.
Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you, I was’nt listening. Love your vids. Cheers from Australia.
@@jimcrawford5039 Thanks Jim, and cheers from Exeter, UK 🍻
5:45 what’s the name of the app that you’re using?
It is "Speedometer" on the iPhone, by "DOUBLE U"
