Iarnród Éireann is the national rail provider. Trains are the swiftest means of getting between Dublin and other towns in Ireland, although they are generally more expensive than buses and cover far fewer destinations. Tickets can be booked online. Dublin has two intercity railway stations: Connolly Station on Amiens Street, T 01 836 3333, serves Belfast, Derry, Sligo and Roslaire. There are around eight trains a day to Belfast and the journey takes about two hours. Heuston Station on St Johns Road West, T 01 836 5421, serves Cork, Galway, Westport, Tralee, Killarney, Limerick, Wexford and Waterford and other destinations in the south and west of the country. Connolly Station is on the DART line and bus 90 runs between the two stations.
