High fares keep us off the trains

What an interesting, and for me , timely, front page headline on today’s (Oct 19) Irish Examiner, concerning the perilously fragile future for CIE.

Maybe this tuppence worth will not fully reverse that trend, but it certainly can provide your readers with one very poignant and obvious example of why this is so.
