Yes. As a result of Transport 21 and all it contains in relation to the DART, P11 will be designing new infrastructural campaigns in 2007. Extend the DART has run its course under its current guise. It was a very big success and played its part in lobbying politicians in the run up to the T21 announcement. However it failed to secure the DART for Kildare town and Drogheda. These areas will be included in further P11 campaigns.

Just to let you know you still have large banners advertising the non-existent site on the main P11 site. Since P11 often notes mistakes in IE's site it would set a good example to make sure your own site doesn’t contain mistakes like this.

very correct, but then we don't have IEs budget.

When our IT man gets back from surfing in Oz we'll be revamping the campiagns section. In fact the entire web site is due a makeover.

On the other hand, Platform 11 has only one site to take care of. Those IE guys have to look after 3 totally conflicting websites that operate in competition with each other - they have an excuse for not giving each one the TLC it deserves

Actually CIE have at least 6 separate sites. But that's not an excuse. And there's certainly no excuse for the uncoordinated mess they have now. They've done something to the Bus Éireann site recently and it's horrible. Compare it to the Trnasport for London site, which is a joy to use. There should be one site for planning journeys across train, Luas and bus, with the individual company sites feeding into it.

The 11 site is excellent, but it can be hard for a volunteer organisation to always keep everything up to date.

2007 fares are up site wide, before IE had them on their site. We have some interesting stuff going into the member section shortly. The focus is on customer service

By the way there are infact at least 14 CIE owned sites, 15 if you include a redirected one. Figure that out
