    No Reductions In Train Fares For Wicklow Commuters.

    Train fare reductions for Wicklow have been postponed.

    Train fare reductions for Wicklow have been postponed

    Senior officials from the National Transport Authority (NTA) have revealed to a Dáil committee meeting that plans to reduce train fares in the new Dublin Commuter Zone which were scheduled for September, will now not go ahead until next year.

    The delays were attributed to technology and administration issues with elements such as Leap Cards and gate validation points. In January of this year, an NTA fare review announced a major overhaul in fares charged in the commuter counties of Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. The result was that the standard train fare from Wicklow Town to Dublin was set to reduce from €10.45 to €6.00 by September of this year at the latest.
