South Tipp line fare promotions in conjunction with South Tipp Co Co
A €24 day return fare to Heuston is available (children half price) from all four stations on the line (purchasable from the checker onboard).
A day return fare of €5.90 to Waterford is available from all stations on the line. Good value. A leaflet promoting the fares and timetable is available (e.g. at Limerick Jct) and is footnoted "in association with South Tipperary County Council". Credit due to same for their interest. A poster is also on display at Clonmel station where the building per se is closed. There was a cafe here but perhaps the lease has expired and or it is being kitted out? There seemed to be work going on inside. Aforementioned promotional fare to Dublin is available via Limerick Jct but it's unclear if the fare is available via Waterford (in spite of the latter having only one connection each way useful for day trippers from South Tipp to the capital). |

That fare's been around for a while unless I'm mistaken...

Leaflet says May 2011 but it doesn't seem to have been mentioned here before so felt it was worth posting.
CIÉ's projection/marketing of rural services, whether bus or rail, always seems to come across as patchy - at best. |

Fare won't be around much longer I'm told.
Hasn't done anything for the bottom line really, probably made it worse

Maybe if they reduced the fares to Clonmel during these promotions it might have worked. Its alright charging €24 to Dublin but charging €52 (is something like that) to Clonmel attracts nobody from the Dublin area to visit Clonmel by rail.

it is very good that this has been done but no one will use it unless they know about it , some advertising is needed !!
