When you buy your ticket insist on getting a designated seat. Long story and trains tend to be packed. Last May my partner and I bought tickets at Heuston ticket office for the Dublin- Galway train.

The letter expressly states ‘Parking Charge’ and Parking Charge Notice’ as opposed to parking fine. Is there a legal significance in using the term ‘charge’ rather than ‘fine’?
