Train fares North and South

Madam, – Shortly before Christmas I went to purchase a day return ticket to Drogheda. The sales assistant at Connolly station in Dublin was kind enough to inform me that a day return to Drogheda would cost €22 or I could purchase a day return to Newry costing €10 and simply alight at Drogheda. You can guess which I opted for.

I am glad to see Irish Rail doing its bit for cross-Border shopping! – Yours, etc,

ALLAN J CRANN,

Wilson’s Place, Dublin 2.
