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.
