Of course if there were a closure announcement then air would be full of cries from local politicians about how the town would die if the line were to close.
That’s more a failing of the hotel let’s be honest. I’d expect a hotel to know local public transport options. Information on the service (limited in nature as the service is) is hardly hidden away on the IE website.

Let’s be honest though, it reflects the reality that we are a car-focussed country.
