What's changed since 2019 is the Dublin Port Greenway, a walking/cycling route separated from the roads. Unfortunately it is on the north perimeter of the port complex so isn't the shortest route towards the city centre.

Parcel delivery is a service that has been priced down to it's lowest possible level and it's not going to change. You can have all the expectations you like and complain to all and sundry but it is a business that is firmly in the gutter and won't be leaving. If you know you will be in the...

That is ridiculous, although issuing pointless counted place reservations for free is not nearly as bad as ACP Rail who sell them at £6 a pop to unsuspecting tourists on Interrail/Eurail passes as they are sent to ACP by Eurail.

Nothing difficult about it at all, just some extra lines of code. It's clearly in the can't be bothered pile.

Because "health and safety" is the great justification, wheel it out and stifle any dissent because only evil monsters would be against people being safe. Far too many use it inappropriately and hide behind it to justify all kinds of lazy, stupid, illogical, wrong, bad decisions and rules.

The carriage of cycles is only viable if the numbers attempting to do it remain very low, to the point it is effectively a niche activity and for those who do use it a very heavily subsidised one. Once demand for taking bikes on trains rises above niche it quickly becomes unsustainable on the...

And what happens when a passenger gets fed up with that nonsense and pulls an emergency evacuation handle? Sadly, just another example of the railway's inability to apply any flexibility or common sense to any abnormal situation. An organisational structure so in love with it's bloated rules...

Does this apply to just the £2 fares or does it include all of the classes of free bus fares on those routes; the elderly, young and others?

UK still has a very competitive consumer bank market, be thankful for that as it is not the case everywhere.

According to that page, yes. Buying and Topping-Up You cannot top-up your iLink card online. You can top-up and/or buy iLink with day, weekly and monthly travel at Main Translink bus or train stations PayPoint Agents across Northern Ireland (top-up only) Visit Belfast, Donegall Square North...

That's due to hotels (and alternatives) taking advantage of an ongoing severe lack of accommodation, residential and short stay. It is having a noticeable effect on tourism rates and is completely understandable that it puts off many potential visitors.

That is quite a claim, I assume you have some evidence to substantiate this.

The idea that these "protestors" could give a flying F about public transport is ludicrous, they have blockaded the two busiest public transport routes in the capital for 3 days now including both tram lines and the gang in Galway targetted the main city bus depot which has also been blocked...

Selectable PA is something that should have been part of the IET spec, like it or not, they are the main inter city train in Britain for the next 2 decades and they were NOT cheap trains. It has slipped my mind where but I recall a train where the quiet coach had no announcements by choice...

Big bus companies buying up or out competing small operators only to butcher and close the routes could make for a rather long thread on it's own I expect.

Works fine for me.

That is how NTA/TFI have chosen to administer bus services in Ireland. Dublin city services, run by Dublin Bus and Go-ahead Ireland to routes directly controlled by TFI currently in the middle of a very long drawn-out network redesign.Fully integrated train/tram/bus fares based on a single...

It's worth reading the local language wiki pages as well, they often have more details than the English pages. This appears to be the current company derived from various mergers/acquisitions. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industria_Italiana_Autobus

They are now very confident that they can get away with openly doing as they please without any significant resistance from anyone that they fear, they keep pushing the boundaries of the levels of atrocities they commit and are ever more emboldened by the tolerance the receive in return. The...

Sailrail tickets (single and return) from Ireland were always available, it was only the ability to purchase journeys starting in GB via the railway ticketing system that was withdrawn by TfW. No sailrail on James Joyce, the reason; because Irish Ferries don't want to. Note they do not allow...
