Tom, I did not whinge in my mail and would prefer if you didn't make that
assumption when you next comment on one of my mails. I just stated a fact
that the passes are not the easiest to manage and I will take your point
about the subject line however I will point out to you that it was not off
topic as you were referring to people having to carry their passes in the
first place for to have tickets for these new machines. Now, I was clearly
making a point on the issue and I do not have the time at the moment to be
getting proposals ready for to go and do things about this problem. I
didn't even say that I wanted to orriginally but if someone wants to do that
then I will support it.
Cheers for now, Nicky.

Nicky, First can everybody watch the subject lines and clearly state what the topic of the mail is.
It would be worth while for those of you who whinge about the size of the travel passes to measure them against a fifty note EUR50 , then ask yourself which is the biggest. Now as you have found out the fifty note EUR50 is bigger so is that a good reason to use all five notes EUR5 because there smaller
Next take the time to weigh your mobile phone and the travel pass and see what weighs more.
Cheers
Tom

Hi to all, I also think that this is an interesting development but I would also say that something has to be done about the size of the travel pass. They are just too big and when you carry them around all the time they just end up getting wrecked.
Cheers, Nicky.

Tom,
Thanks for your email! and what an interesting email Too! I was participating in Disability Awareness Training delivered by NCBI and other disability groups recently, and there was no mention of such machines being introduced. I wonder how accessible the machines for validating one's ticket will be? if it's anything like the voting machines there's no point! I sincerely hope NCBI and passengers who are vision-impaired will be consulted when evaluating new ticket machines!
We'll have to watch this space!

I have tried since 11th of April as the message below shows to get
message out on this list from my work e-mail address but it just goes
into siber space and to the best of my knowledge no body has got it.
Now I am going to try sending it from another email address I use so
here goes.

distant future all train stations, including DART Stations will have
everybodyticket validating machines installed. The current plan within Irish Rail is that
using a travel pass or not must get a ticket for every journey that
they are doing. This will mean you must put your ticket through a
machine toget
onto and off the platforms. For those of us that use travel pass
becausetickets this means we will have to get a ticket every single journey we travel
the tickets can only be issued currently on a day return basis. The first two stations this is going to happen in are Clontarf Road
and Grand Canal dock two dart stations. It was to happen at the end
of February but there is a delay because Irish Rail are not happy with the machines
validatingcurrently been given to them.
it is only a matter of time until this happens and the ticket
machines are going in right across the system. Can I suggest that those of you who don't carry your travel passes
"because their too big" find them dust them off because your going to be
usingthem
every day you take a suburban-intercity-train-dart journey likely
before the end of this year.
Staff at the center are aware of this system coming in and will be
viewing machines in conjunction with Irish Rail staff as soon as the two
pilot ones are in. The next three stations after the pilot results are
pleaseConnolly, Tara Street and Pierce Stations
Reason behind it "fraud"
Any comments on this for me please use this list. No phone calls
