This is at least 15 minutes faster than the train. I know three people who commute from Drogheda and all agree that the viaduct collapse has been a very good thing. I do appreciate though that if...

Bad luck if you wanted to go from Drogheda to Malahide because there was absolutely no mention that the 06:46 was not making that stop.

Surely switching to the car is only a viable option for those who can't avail of the taxsaver scheme and have free parking in Dublin and can carpool?
