That depends
Note however the price if booked on the day to Cork/Tralee is now 39.99 where it was 37.00. In some cases these fares are actually an increase as on Westport and Waterford you could get 10 euro on many trains without need to book in advance Its part of an education process to get people to book ahead |
what a suprise to/from dublin
pathetic |
Fares apply on all radial routes, so Kildare - Mallow for instance is offered a lower fare

Heuston-Cork open return is €77.00, but if you book in the sale it would appear to be €79.98 (€39.99x2). :confused: I realise it's an odd combination.

It will charge whatever is less, sum of singles or the return its always done that
|
Is there any indication if the current 20e student return will continue past june?
|
Given it has already been extended once it is clearly doing well.
Irish Rail has changed its play book on ticketing this year so expect more sense and value to filter through |

It's a funny sort of sale that has prices increasing. Cork-Dublin price range has gone from €10-€37 up to €19.99-€39.99 each way. One complaint to the ASAI coming up shortly.
|
Thurles, Portlaoise, Limerick Junction (though many people around that part can't get broadband anyway) etc are left out of any advertising again. Seems stupid not mentioning every station the promotions are available at.
|
Ball park I'm guessing something like 70 odd stations are included in the offer
|
At least each service to Waterford anyway has at least 4 carrages for sale online and not 1 for most as before.
17.35 on Saturdays appears to be a 6 car again as 4 carrages are for sale online and if so it will sort out the 07.10 on Mondays. I think long term the 9.99 fares are a good way to get passengers to use the service again and see its good except for some travel time but with 9.99 you can't go wrong. Time will tell if it pays off which I think it will. |
