I hear on the grapevine that we are discontinuing buying contract ticekts from Irish Rail. That's a pity. I am told we would have to be buying more to avail of the offer. But why not join in with CORI or the IMU. It might be nice if those of us using the railway on a regular basis received some sort of official notification about the new practice.
Those of you who use the railway and are not on a free pass, Irish Rail has at last decided to offer single fares. But the tickets have to be bought through their website, www.irishrail.ie. The tickets seem to be working out at half the standard return fare. Up to now, the single ticket was within €2 of the return fare - a crazy practice.
When it comes to the environment we really don't seem to be at the races.
