What about this then:

Say you want to go from Cork to Heuston on the 07:30 on a weekday morning. The cost on the internet is €56.50 according to the Irish rail website.

Now, if, for example you were to buy a ticket to, say, Tullamore, for €47, and then break your journey in Heuston, and then not get around to travelling on to Tullamore, you have made a saving of €10.50.

Taking the 07:30 to Heuston, having a latte in Cafe ToGo and then and getting onto the 11:10 is a legitamite way to travel......

(canteen isn't seen by Irish Rail staff is it? I should be ashamed of myself public servant and all)
