Do you commute by train?

Irish Rail services carried a record number of passengers last year, according to the NTA.

THIS MORNING ON The Journal, our readers shared their experiences of commuting by train – with many describing issues such as overcrowding and standing for extended periods.

Figures from the National Transport Authority (NTA) show that Irish Rail services carried a record 55 million passengers last year.

However, access to rail services varies across the country. There are no active train stations in Donegal and many rural areas either lack a nearby station or have infrequent services.

With that in mind, we’re asking: Do you commute by train?
