They wouldn't be able to accept cards which kind of defeats the purpose.

Crouzet machines are painfully slow anyway, upwards of a minute per transaction.

It was another poor week for the 7:45 am service. One 10 minute delay and on two more occasions the train only arrived at 7:45. At times it is so slow you would be sorely tempted to get out and walk.

Really slow trains are Irish Rail's specialty subject. Travelled on a DART from Malahide to Connolly yesterday, journey time 28 minutes for the 9 miles. The maximum speed attained momentarily was 38 mph, less than the Luas Green line cruising speed !
