Sir, - Wednesday of last week (November 6th) was indeed a momentous occasion. Having commuted by rail from Dublin to Dundalk for the best part of three years, this day I saw the first on time departure in either direction.
Needless to say, I missed the train but was heartened by the wry smile of the ticket inspector as he apologised for the inconveniance. - Yours etc.
Harty Place, Dublin 8.
