I hope they've all come to the realisation that they can't come back to the passengers for more. From my perspective, I've effectively lost the option to leave the office at 5:30 since I can't put up with the 18:05 on a regular basis - probably I've just gone soft in my old age. With this year's fare increase, I will be paying not far from 20% more than two years ago in a deflationary environment.

Maybe it's where I sit but I think that traffic is a lot thinner on the 0545 from Sligo every morning due to the combined effects of the fare increases and capacity cutbacks. Edgeworthstown station carpark is also looking a lot quieter. I honestly can't see how this can have increased revenue. There is whiff of desperation in how heavily these 9.99 fares are being advertised at the moment.
