    How is Sallins a bit far out? Good news anyway, should have been done long ago.

    Looks to me as if Leixlip-CC fares are going up due to the distance balancing going on.

    My occasional Maynooth-Clontarf Road has been cut to the same as the more regular Maynooth-Connolly; I usually hit the cap most weeks but for those I don't its a slight saving,

    Where did you see that?

    EDIT: I see it now. Leixlip to everywhere except the CC is going down! Doh!

    It's about the same as Kilcock I suppose, but I always perceived it to be further.

    You might get an answer if you tell people where you are coming from.

    Looking at the short hop annual prices it doesn't seem much less than an annual Sallins to City centre ticket

    2015 Sallins 1640 + 385 = 2025 (Rail Plus City Centre)
    2016 Rail SHZ 1520
    Saving 505

    More savings
    Add All DB: 2015 +1320 total 3345
    2016 1710
    Saving for Rail+DB 1635

    Big saving for Sallins commuters.
