Just now the journey is frustrating because of roadworks, although this will improve. Even so, travelling time is at least one and a half hours each way. Public services are inadequate for commuters from a point of view of journey time and the number of services. Someone, somewhere should kick up. Carlow people are friendly but "laid back" - this could take some getting used to, say newcomers. Finding work in the town is one solution to the commuting dilemma.
