Travel to Ireland Increasing

Travel to Ireland Increasing.

Travel between England and Ireland has increased considerably of late, and both the L.M. & S. and G.W. Railways report good business in this connection. One popular route to Erin's Isle is that operated by the G.W. Company, between Fishguard, in South Wales, and Rosslare, Ireland. This is a daily service, on which the G.W. Railway employ fine turbine steamers, with restaurant and sleeping-car trains running in connection. Leaving Paddington Station, London, at 7.55 p. m. each week-day, an arrival is given at Rosslare at 5.25 a. m. From Rosslare, the Great Southern Railway of Ireland operates breakfast-car trains to Wexford, Wicklow, Dublin, Limerick, Cork and Killarney. Especially useful is the Fishguard-Rosslare route for visitors to Southern Ireland, and particularly the beautiful Killarney lake country. The whole of this delectable slice of territory is served by the Great Southern Railway, the big transportation concern having its headquarters in Dublin.
