so you believe that public transport services should make a profit ?

the train sells out 3 days before a match - 190 people are availing of public transport insteand of driving up and down to dublin

If the train wasnt running then people would be on here screaming for a service

Lets hope for twice the crowd (the demand is obvious) and a 6 carriage set for the final
I beleave accounts should be balanced and not 40 odd million in the red.

At least if it wasn't sold out 3 days before the match then more revenue could be collected to cover costs....

Can platforms take a 6 car set, ialthough I hope they get to the final!

agree with you on the €40 million - I'd point the finger at the lack of proper governance in IR rather than anywhere else

lets all agree that more people travelling by train has to be good

2 full match trains wont keep the nenagh line going but maybe 3/4 of the passengers on Sunday will be teachers who return back to tipp and decide to bring schooltrips to Dublin by train next year !

They might even use the 05.05 service

in 2009 rules for set down for the Nenagh line which would permit a train to stop at the nenagh line station if it exceeds 4 carriges, which is very disapointing , but in the future alterations will be made i profit will be made
