04 Feb 2012Kerry rail fares increase but on-line bookings are cheaper
Over 140 Rail journeys are set to become more expensive from today - including some from Kerry. An open return ticket from Kerry to Dublin will now cost €79; a single will cost €62; and the day return ticket will cost €71.
Tickets from Rathmore are cheaper by one or two euro. On-line tickets can be considerably cheaper, depending on promotions. 66 fares will decrease in price and 15 will remain unchanged as part of the plans. Barry Kenny from Irish Rail says that while some fares will rise, it will get rid of some unfair pricing.
