Nice to have a bit of levity in these otherwise fairly miserable times.

This is what happens when politicians play trains
The timetable was about as good as could be offered Fares were 9.99 single each way Given the mass press exposure I don't think there is anyone in North Tipp who didn't know about it As usual the NRP crew seem to be living on a different planet |
Walk on fare €48 Thurles to Dublin is amazing value.
Or maybe walk-on UK fares are so outrageously high anything looks like a bargain! |
Well you ain't got much choice in Thurles, no direct bus to Cork or Dublin and Limerick isn't much fun

that FF Cllr Hogan is off the wall suggesting that you cant get from Templemore to Dublin in time for work
Two services get you there! Dept 06:38 Arr 08:05 Dept 07:33 Arr 08:55 |
i had to read that NRP statement a few times, and in its total re-writing of everything that was said by them in connection with this service it takes some beating.
this was the most talked about, most publicised and most unwanted train serivce in his history of tipperary north riding. to decry Irish Rails publicity when NRP were very busy publicising it themselves is just to ignore reality. If offered for free nobody else would have used it. At €10 it was virutally free, considering that your tickets had to be brought to your station for you to pick up if you were in one of the stations that hadnt the facilities. there is so much that can be pointed out as being wrong in that article that even I cant be bothered doing it, as life is too short. Mark sums it up a lot better than I. In relation to John Hogan... well, John is a mate of mine so I wont play the man too hard, but really, we kept a service that gets us into Heuston as best as you can. i dont see the real problem here. |

When talk about closing this line comes up again in the near future NRP, Alan Kelly whoever can't say that Iarnród Éireann didn't advertise locally about the services on this line.

The train it meets at 8:45 in Ballybrophy is a 22k Limerick-Dublin. 2800 from Nenagh-Ballybrophy. As uncomfortable the 2800 are it could be worse. Those 2700's the rotten smell of the heaters and they were like sitting on a mechanical bull.
