Hi all, new to the forum. Have finally, after nearly 2 years managed to get my taxsaver ticket and changed my hours to commute carrick-on-shannon to sligo, and now they're thinking of getting rid of trains. I think they should just move the times of some of these trains. I have had to change my hours to 10.30 to 6.30 so that i can get to sligo on the first train and home on the last! How rediculous is that. For what is supposedly a city, there is no public transport that arrives before 10am. This to a place that has a hospital, college, some big businesses and schools. They would see far greater numbers if they put some commuter trains on this part of the line. By getting a taxsaver ticket I will be saving myself almost 50euros a week (even though a point to point annual ticket for this part of the country is 2690 compared to about a 1000 less if you're near dublin), they should be publicising this information. The only people able to use the current timetable have free passes, no wonder they're loosing money!
