They've only gone and done it again.

Dublin Champions Cuala have once again employed the services of Irish rail to charter a train to their Leinster Senior Club Championship quarter-final.

Cuala take on Kildare side Naas in the provincial championship's quarter-final this weekend where they'll be hoping to continue a run of form that saw them oust county favourites Kilmacud Crokes in the Dublin final.

With the fixture set to be played in the recently renovated St. Conleths Park in Newbridge on Saturday, the Dalkey outfit confirmed that they'll be upgrading their transport methods for the Kildare clash, chartering an Irish Rail Intercity train.

Cuala GAA charter train for Leinster SFC quarter-final

Cuala's antics come off the back of their Dublin SFC win last month when the club chartered a Dart to take them directly from Dalkey to Killester, the closest station to Parnell Park.

The ingenious move from the Dublin champions was a resounding success, with nearly the entirety of Cuala's fanbase piling onto one Dart before landing in Parnell Park like an army on the march.

The club will be hoping to recreate both that and their on-field successes as they head to Newbridge on Saturday.

While some might be wondering how chartering a train works, in a social media post Cuala reassured the fans that even if the game goes to extra-time or penalties the 'Cuala train' will hold on for them.

The train will depart from Dalkey Station at approximately 5 pm..and will return after the game, aiming to arrive back in Dalkey by 9:30 pm. If the match goes to extra time or penalties, don't worry - the train will wait for all Cuala fans!

While Leap Cards and regular tickets won't be accepted on this special service, Cuala fans will be able to get tickets from the clubhouse.

Tickets for the train are on sale at Cuala Clubhouse...Return tickets are €15 for adults and €5 for children....Please note: only Cuala train tickets will be accepted.

While the news that Cuala had rented a Dart to take fans to their Dublin SFC win took the country by surprise, it's not the first time the South Dublin club has done it.

In 2017 when the club were taking on Ballyea in the All-Ireland Club Senior Hurling Championship Final in Croke Park, the club chartered not one but two darts to take fans into the city, with both services of the 'Cuala Ultra Train' selling out ahead of the fixture.

Considering Cuala have now rented trains for two of the biggest days in the club's history, they'll be hoping the alternative transport method delivers the same success levels on Saturday.
