Fares to fall next week due to lack of LEAP?

Its a bit more complex than that

I understand as of Friday monthly/annual tickets issued from then on should be at the 2013 price.

I wouldn't expect physical hardware in situ until Q1 2015

But the NTA was quite clear.

If I cannot use a Leapcard for my Cork/Cobh journey on Friday then the ticke price must revert to the 2013 price?

They said 'products', so applies to monthly/annual only

Quote:

Approved increases for Iarnród Éireann’s Cork/Cobh/Midleton products are on the basis that these will be made available on the Leap card format by 1st August 2014. If that date is not achieved, and if the Authority does not approve the reasons for the missed deadline, then these newly approved fares are to revert to their rates prior to 1st December 2013.

So, should ordinary fares drop - the ones on which Leap Card isn't available.

Fares for monthly/annual will drop

The condition did not set a date for epurse

Thats what the NTA have confirmed, so a victory of sorts tomorrow

Find it hard to credit this rebate has to involve vouchers. There was no other way to do this?
