Sir, – My annual rail ticket has been increased from €845 in 2007 to €1,340 in 2013 (with effect from November 1st). That is nearly an increase of 60 per cent.
The only thing that has reduced in that period is the carriage space on trains and my take-home pay (down 20 per cent).
Literally and economically this is putting the squeeze on passengers. – Yours, etc,
BRIAN Mac SWEENEY,
