At least this timetable change has prompted me to make serious efforts to serious reduce or entirely end my 4 day a week long-distance commute. After 12 years, I can't take another 20 minutes being added to my day. I'm hopeful I can say goodbye to my pass at renewal time in August.
I feel the same - I have had the Taxsaver Short Hop Rail for the last umpteen years and between journey time increasing and certain trains running late it makes sense for me now to switch to Dublin Bus Taxsaver as I can get into work quicker.
