Interesting allright!

a few questions are raised by this episode. First all is the car park. The car that had its windows smashed i am wondering if it had valid ticket.

So what constitutes as a valid ticket ? Is a daily pass a 24 hour pass ? And is the person who parked the car through the night in the right ? In the press release for the extra maynooth line services it mentioned that coolmine and leixlip car parks were run 24 hours a day 7 days a week surely so. The person who parked the car has a right to feel angry if they have a valid day or week ticket but with ie they are covered with the `park at your own risk' clause,

With regards to the train been vandalised its not suprising that this happened but it could have happened anywhere where there was no security / no secure area. thankfully with the intercity railcar terminating in gorey only a temporary arrangement this hopefully wont happen again. However if they cant get the security then they should park the train in bray ! Advantages are You have secure parking spot , you can run the 1920 to bray providing a dart connection and it would save the taxi fares !

Hopefully ie will learn from this episode !
