Dear Mr Fearn,
I am writing to you to ask you why Students and Families pay more for tickets on the Westport to Dublin line compared to those on the Galway to Dublin line.
Ticket prices are identical on both lines for Single, Day Return, 5 Day Return and Monthly Return tickets but there is a large variation for Student and Family tickets. On the Westport to Dublin line the Student Return ticket, the Family One day ticket and the Family Monthly ticket are €4, €6 and €8 more expensive, respectively.
I would also like an update on the provision of a dining car on the service.
I would also like to ask Irish Rail to remove the plastic publicity stands from the platform at Westport Station. As you are aware Westport Station is a listed building in a designated Heritage Town and the boards detract from the station's appearance. I did ask Myles McHugh in person and by correspondence to remove them but I did not receive a reply from him on the matter.
I would like to conclude by welcoming the proposed extra services and the early bird service. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
__________

To be fair to Dick Fearn he is supportive of commuter links. You should be glad that there's at least some freight on the Mayo line, on the Rosslare route there's none
Hi Joe,
Well I hope so. We have lost the space for bicycles and our dining car and a hot food service. its a three and half hour journey and we have always had a food service.
So we are looking for answers to the above questions from Mr Fearn.
