The Ireland train network connects major cities, regional centres, and commuter zones across the country. This page tracks Ireland trains in real time using live GPS data from the official national rail API. Trains shown on the map update regularly so you can see which services are currently running and where they are in their journey.
Live GPS positions for Ireland trains are sourced from the official real-time feed, which reports actual GPS coordinates from onboard units. This data is refreshed every 30 to 60 seconds and provides accurate positions for all trains transmitting location data. Where a train is not broadcasting a live position, the system uses its scheduled timetable to estimate where it should be.
The Ireland national rail network offers a range of service types catering to long-distance travellers, commuters, and regional passengers. Long-distance intercity trains serve the major population centres with reserved seating and, on many routes, catering or buffet facilities. Regional and commuter trains provide frequent services between smaller cities, towns, and urban suburbs without seat reservations. The full timetable for all Ireland trains, including departure times and stop lists, is available on the schedule page.
Tickets for Ireland trains can be purchased through the national rail operator's official website or app, at station ticket machines, or through authorised third-party booking platforms. Fares typically vary by service type, booking class, and how far in advance the ticket is purchased. Booking early usually provides access to the lowest available fares on long-distance routes. Some commuter services use a flat-rate or zone-based pricing structure independent of advance booking.
