Sir, - Last Saturday, after reading in your paper that Iarnr≤d ╔ireann would offer half-price family day "rambler" tickets as part of European Car Free Day, I brought my two daughters to Bray station to purchase a ticket.
There we were told we could get a half-price ticket only if we had "the voucher".
"Where do we get the voucher?" I asked.
"You had to get them yesterday, but only at Pearse Station," was the reply.

There were many disappointed family groups at the station. Some walked home dejectedly. Some forked out twice as much as they had expected, rather than upset their children.
And our family? We went for a drive in the car instead. Thanks, Iarnr≤d ╔ireann. - Yours, etc.,
Deirdre McGuirk, Ashton Wood, Bray, Co Wicklow.
