I shall declare my position as having a disabled wife who has a pass covering us both.
Since being granted the pass 18 months ago it has been used a grand total of 3 times and all of those times were to attend hospital appointments in Dublin which by their nature required use of peak time trains. If the hospital tells you to be there by 9am you really have no choice.
It would unfair to penalise those who use their passes in the manner they were intended to be used.
For the record I frequently travel on my own and do pay my own fare.
