It actually reminds me of something my father used to do. He used to travel to Belfast for work. In the days before there was a regular flight, this meant a long train journey.
Anyway, he had prepaid contract tickets, but these were only valid for travel in the Republic, so he used to go to the ticket desk in Kent Station to buy a return from Dundalk to Belfast to complete his journey. From what I understand, it used to cause confusion sometimes, but he always got the ticket.
It would appear that what he was doing was technically illegal though.
