I live in Dundalk and was a regular commuter on the train from 2007 to 2010. This year I switched to the Matthews Coach service and my (totally unscientific) impression is that it carries more Dundalk than Drogheda passengers (whereas the trains generally seemed more popular with Drogheda passengers).

Not sure why this might be the case (if my impression is actually correct)!

Your probably right,I've noticed that myself,more trains start and terminate in Drogheda whereas matthews seem to have a good few buses that go directly to dundalk so thats prob a big factor.

IE lost a lot of dundalk commuters when the malahide viaduct went down,i think for a lot of them that was the final straw,drogheda didn't have it as bad with the buses starting from there.
