What a smell...<br><br><br clear=all> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/631#post-631 Sat, 28 Sep 2002 23:09:08 +0000 Al 631@http://busrage.com/forum/ And how did that deficit come about, more lining of the pockets of corrupt politicians...? As it stands, IE are now talking more railway closures instead of expansion. Sounds like the new Navan line's off the table for now.<p>What I want to know is, how could IE have rationally abandoned freight operations that were actually *profitable* a year ago??? Did they really expect that they could have done without the revenue?? Ah well...more lorries on the road then, generating more "tax revenue" that of course will not be applied towards building much-needed motorways (meaning everlasting traffic jams), not to mention more sulphuric carcinogens being spewed into the once-pristine air of Éire. (With all this road-tax revenue, they could restore so many railway lines to better-than-new condition PLUS complete the motorways in about the space of 1½ years, really.)<p>Has IE completely lost focus? They got rid of profitable freight rail service, now they're looking to close more routes. Makes no sense to me.<br><br><br clear=all> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/372#post-377 Sat, 12 Jan 2002 03:27:43 +0000 Al 377@http://busrage.com/forum/ : €40? That's a massive increase, don't you know... sorry, I know you mean 40c.<p>: Dublin Bus has been uncharacteristically fair during the Euro changeover, and to be fair to the drivers, I wouldn't want to be dealing in two currencies either. My fair of £1.15 is at €1.45, which is a penny cheaper.<p><br>Sheesh...I'll be able to use the term "cents" when I go back home this year.

Im happy to see Im not being ripped off anymore (5p may not be alot but it adds up). Now my fair is only 40€, no more wasted change!<br><br><br clear=all><br/><em>[posted by: The Dude]</em> http://busrage.com/forum/topic/369#post-369 Wed, 02 Jan 2002 11:15:11 +0000 admin 369@http://busrage.com/forum/ The Euro changeover has begun, and things seem to be going smoothly. Most people I've seen on the bus are quite savvy to the new currency.<p>Has anyone here had, or seen, any problems?<br><br><br clear=all>
