Fare Determinations

[jacko]

Any word on when the annual fare determinations are being published

Normally in October

Given that this year's determinations were published this day last year I'd say their publication is imminent.

The 2014 determinations were published on 23rd October 2013.

They've published them on the Friday of the bank holiday weekend on at least one previous occasion - surprised they didn't try that trick again (it minimises the bad publicity).

Perhaps that's a good omen in terms of what the fare changes are going to be!

Perhaps they are waiting for Irish Rail to submit the bill which trade unions will land them in the next few weeks

There is the issue of allocation of 28 million extra PSO funding

Some is for extra DART services and the Kildare - Grand Canal Dock service

Leap has a impact here as well as the weekly cap has set a upper limit of 2080 euro per year, as a result the Rail/Luas/Bus annual actually went down last fare determination

2016 Annual (jan-dec) is the same cost as 2015 (my employer only does jan-dec). No reductions though for point-to-point IR or the expensive Luas/145 add-on at 385. (All of LUAS is an extra 220 on a DB ticket).

Question: If the Kildare-GCD service is established in 2016, would the Kildare-Huston ticket cover it? Can't see this happening as it would under-cut the LUAS/145 addon.
