"Please note"
No descriptions of combined monthly tickets, obscure codes in IE ticket machines that permit through journies (that the staff don't even know about) or any other hardly known mechanism that facilitates what Im proposing. This thread is for the ordinary user who hasn't a clue and based on the obvious daily rip off that the "Heuston Factor" causes. We'll move to Cork after this.

Its getting off topic. Im talking about the 2 tiered system that operates to and from Heuston, not the broader issue of ticket rip offs. You must pay additional money to get to and from Heuston. Heuston is the main intercity station for Dublin, yet when CIE had a total monopoly, they milked it by adding an additional charge to complete the last leg of the journey. (same in reverse direction. In 1989 NIR started a bus service between York st station and Central station. It was free. The standard rail fare to and from Heuston should automatically include the "city centre" part.
