Can't understand that people advocate that public transport should stop on a public transport forum, but there you go. If Greece can run a transport network with all their problems, Ireland can.

Who is saying it should stop? I am saying that since it doesnt run on a few days because it plainly will be a black hole there is not point in starting it. You may recall we (and as i have mentioned many times, what is said on a board is just my opinion not policy) were against the re-opening of the WRC for that very reason.
If any decision public transport wise apes a Greek one, it is the WRC, wasting money we dont have on a service which isnt used, to gain the political partonage and benefits of a few public representatives and local power groupings. You may want to open a mini one every year on christmas day, thankfully, others dont.
And by the way, there is a full nitelink service after the NYE celebrations. Every year.
