Sir, – It is that time of the year again when Irish Rail closes or disrupts rail services to coincide with the Dublin Marathon and a bank holiday weekend; this time with closures for up to three days. Contrast that with the Venice Marathon. Held on the same day as Dublin, event transport by rail, bus and water taxi is free for participants and their families.- Yours, etc,

ULTAN Ó BROIN,

Venice,

Italy.
