Timetable consultation for DART/commuter 2016 now online

Irish Rail management clearly can't do things which we would normally regard as managing the company: things such as setting a timetable. This is because Irish Rail is, in effect, a union-run company (not the only one in the semi-state sector).

Why not get rid of the (non)management entirely and hand the lot over to SIPTU and the NBRU to run. The subsidy to the company would be decided by Government, and it would be reduced by x% for every strike day. Effectively the unions would be striking against themselves. It might give them some appreciation of the realities of life.

Bonkers? Well no more so than what we have at the moment.
