Cork-Galway: ticket pricing gone mad

[jacko]

Decided that I would support the much maligned Western corridor only to find that I would havte to pay €68 return plus booking fees

Crazy stuff for the distance involved - and the quickest journey (12.30 Cork/Dub change Lim Jct on to train to Limerick that goes on to Galway) is still longer than driving

I am a train buff but think this is extortionate for a line lacking passengers (and I'd be utilising an empty seat on Cork Dub that would only be occupied at the Junction by a transferring Lim/Dub passenger)
