Im not disputing the fall off. Never even attempted to, so less of the justification on that score please.

Im saying that its disingenuous to cite improved roads and car parking charges. Your just speculating and I think it would have been alot more professional to speculate rather than sensationalise.
Well, I'm certanly not speculating, they are the reasons why I didnt use the train and I know others who are doing the same.

I've no doubt that you are as equally correct, and that job losses in the city are meaning that there are less poeple using the trian, or indeed, driving. I think in fact that Meath/Kildare is suffering the most from the downturn, there was something about it on the radio during the week.

From RUI/NRG point of view, what is wrong with highlighting the things that IE can change and reverse to attract theose who are only marignally better off driving to work? We all know that there are job losses out there, surely IE should now be trying their level best to keep those who are in work on the railways?
