All for some pictures of boats, trains, stations and Ireland in general.

I don't think it is mad, if taking pictures of boats, trains and stations is your thing. Any excuse for a visit to the fair Emerald Isle is a good one in my book.

The only comment I would make is that, if it was me doing it, I wouldn't want to be sitting 'down the back', I would want to be doing it in some comfort, with lounges and drinks readily accessible.

Simple answer, Yes

If it makes you happy though, then, No, it isn't mad and why not, better than sitting at home doing nothing.

How are you doing the Galway - Limerick - Cork leg? The Galway-Limerick rail link only opened this past week and to complete the journey to Cork you would have to take a train to Limerick Junction and then get the Cork train. The most direct way would be by bus.

Given Sunday timetables I wonder if you would be able to do the trip around Ireland in the one day but perhaps you have already worked it out. It's not for the faint-hearted!

Hope you don't mind me saying you must be mad

Not for leaving lots of time for drinking and eating that is

Good Luck

Galway to Limerick is on the new train service - 4 trains on Sunday.
I should have about 60 minutes in each place.
