1835 was 3 carriages again this evening, plenty of bikes and luggage in the hallways.

In addition to the notice on the machine, I believe that it is also indicated on the payment screen which notes/coins are accepted. It's really not Irish Rail's fault that you failed to notice that.

Extending annual ticket

If I have an annual ticket from, say, Dublin to Kildare. If I want to go from Dublin to Portloaise, do I just need to buy a Kildare-Portloaise ticket or do I need to get one from Dublin.

Thanks.
