Midleton has an hourly all day service, and half-hourly at peak times, which isn't exactly a poor service level.

The Intercity fares are now set on the basis of:

Express (Dublin-Cork, Dublin-Limerick, Dublin-Tralee and Dublin-Dundalk)
Economy 1 (Dublin-Galway, Dublin-Mayo, Dublin-Sligo, WRC)
Economy 2 (Dublin-Rosslare, Dublin-Waterford, Nenagh Branch, South Tipperary line)

This applies to Single, Day Return and Open Return fares.

Season tickets are priced on a universal scale.

the most recent rail census shows a significant increase in Midleton passengers
