God above. "If you can't do everything, you can't do anything". What would "encourage passengers on Cork/Galway is having more than one trip under 4hrs, and that one requiring 2 changes.

It's a funny sort of sale that has prices increasing. Cork-Dublin price range has gone from €10-€37 up to €19.99-€39.99 each way. One complaint to the ASAI coming up shortly.

Thurles, Portlaoise, Limerick Junction (though many people around that part can't get broadband anyway) etc are left out of any advertising again. Seems stupid not mentioning every station the promotions are available at.

Ball park I'm guessing something like 70 odd stations are included in the offer

At least each service to Waterford anyway has at least 4 carrages for sale online and not 1 for most as before.

17.35 on Saturdays appears to be a 6 car again as 4 carrages are for sale online and if so it will sort out the 07.10 on Mondays.

I think long term the 9.99 fares are a good way to get passengers to use the service again and see its good except for some travel time but with 9.99 you can't go wrong. Time will tell if it pays off which I think it will.
