Got the chance to discuss once again the extension of short-hop rail fares to South Kildare last night.
The NTA are to present a report to Government on a review they are carrying out. In the meantime, the N7 is a daily car park for commuters who bypass local stations to drive to Sallins for cheaper fares or drive straight into Dublin.
Who can blame them, some Commuters I speak to save up to €200 per month. Government can change this straight away by funding the NTA to make the change in prices.
They changed the fares in Mallow this year after a campaign by my colleague Seán Sherlock TD, commuter numbers have doubled on that train service.
Our campaign and the support of the Newbridge Development Association campaign will continue
