Pay and display in Athy from next Monday 10th. Car park is still a potholed, gravel and shattered-glass filled yard. I think only about ten or twelve spaces are actually marked out - the rest is just...

And over 20 minutes late into Athy again this morning, and last Friday, too, I think. Any reason for this? Is it the same problem with getting the level crossing open in Waterford? There's simply no...

For both my wife and I travelling together, these car park charges push the cost of rail travel within about €200 of sharing a car (even after estimating approx 50% back from taxsaver scheme)....

I assume you mean, beyond what the timetable says? :)

Following up to myself...
