Trains required after 19.00 to Mullingar

[awhooley]

I have changed shifts lately, my shift starts at 4 and I finish at 11pm, due to this crazy crap transport solution we have in mullingar I have to get train to dublin and then the 11pm bus back to Mullingar!, a season ticket wont work with this, and my company dont issue Giant hop tickets under the tax saver scheme.. Looks like I have to move back to Dublin...

The act of issuing a Giant Hop, is a simple tick box on the online ordering system, its not a matter of company policy it requires the exact same overhead as ordering any ticket on the system

Actually I think Medium/Large/Giant hops are only available weekly and not on the taxsaver system. Anyone outside the short hop zone can get monthly/annual point-to-point tickets, although that's not useful for awhooley.

Correct. Its a right mess of a situation for awhooley. Maybe you'd be better off just going on the bus in and out???

Tis a mess alright... I may either take bus from now on, or try and change my shift, to suit Irish Rail's times, never mind mine
