What is going to happen is Dublin-Cork prices will rise. Imagine it near €55-€60 euro from Thurles (in 2008/9 it was €39 and it quickly jumped up to €46) or if it jumped to €80 from Cork and yet the Galway-Limerick and Waterford-Dublin lines will probably not see a increase. I think that Waterford fare hasn't increased since the mk2's last served it. What is even more shocking i pay more to Limerick junction from Thurles than a other man pays in Waterford city. If Iarnród Éireann can't sell many seats on them services then run smaller trains and charge a fair price. Dublin-Cork passengers are the easy target to make up for losses on other lines.
