Okay, I give up. The whole situation is a twisted mess and I really hope you can step back someday and see it for what it really is. Maybe, if IE ever become customer focused, they'll figure it out, but until then...

I'm finished with this thread and I need to pay my membership!

Next up, day savers..................

As a sweetner due to the new timetable, there are more day savers than ever in Templemore, in fact all trains till the 1150 apart from Monday and Friday have them (all day for Limerick)and usually average around €10 off the return fare. This used to be only on Wed and Saturday and never included the old 11.00 departure.

I'd be interested as to what your local station is doing regarding day savers.

We are stuck in a mess really, and all we can do is try to provide as much information such that passengers know there options and take advantage of the reduced fares and avoid getting screwed over by accident
