Hi, for how long will these "promotional" fares be valid? The last time is was out in Kilcock, it was €7 one way from Connolly :eek:

Hopefully they remain valid until further notice.

[Mark Gleeson]

They are likely to remain for some time

There have been promotional fares elsewhere for decades

Myself and the wife are moving to Kilcock in August, and it would be prohibitively expensive for her to spend €70 a week on travel to and from Dublin every week (2 journeys a day for 5 days at €7 a go).

Incidentally, is there any annual ticket to/from Kilcock to Dublin outside of the Taxsaver Annual ticket?

[Colm Moore]

As it is a promotion, in theory it could be withdrawn at any time.

Weekly, monthly and annual tickets should be available on a point to point basis.

[Colm Moore]

Realistically, you would be paying half the €70 a week you expected. Monthly tickets are less than the cost of 4 x weekly tickets to allow for bank holidays.
