I have tried them. Unfortunately their first evening arrival in Slane is 18:30 which is a bit too late. My current commute sees me get off the train in Drogheda at 17:20 and arrive in Slane at about 17:50.

Fine. But again, that is your choice. It is rather different to your earlier post "but there is no public transport provided." There is - you choose to go a different way.

OTOH, there is a bus to McGruders Cross, which is 1-2 minutes running time away according to the timetable; not more than 10 minutes walk I would suggest, although I do not know the geography, which gets there at 1743....

True, but that is a suicidal walk along the N2 and you would then need a canoe to cross the Boyne as there is no footpath over it. As for choosing not to use the public transport from Slane, I don't see that there is a choice at all. An extra 40 minutes per day to get the bus from my door compared to driving 11 miles to the train? No choice at all to be made there.

Anyway, never mind. I'll be paying my €8 on Monday morning wether I like it or not, end of story.
