The Rosslare Line signalman is on duty in Greystones until the last DART departs so it is all a red herring.

In the past it could be argued that keeping signal boxes open late cost money but this...

Is the JP law? Or merely a suggestion?

I have seen some very bizarre options in the JP which no sane person would do.

This is the thing. The last few times I have travelled to London, sail/rail has come out way more expensive than a Ryanair flight to Stansted and taking the train from there into the city.

The "Outlet" in Rathdowney is no more. Gone a few years now.

Would extending the car park mean getting rid of the signal box pub?

It is not working that way at all.

My local SWO is a small rural one and does not issue cards. Anyone getting called for a new card has to travel to the designated SWO which is some 25 miles away.

I think your idea is flawed.

There is nothing to stop the locals from travelling to the airport to stock up on the cards. I assume they will sell them to anyone?

Thanks, that wouldn't apply to me as I need to get the 0652 to Heuston in the morning.
