Pricing on part-suburban part-Intercity routes seems extremely random at times. My fiancée and I have paid the following prices for student tickets:
Single Balbriggan-Belfast Central €14.00
Single Connolly-Belfast Central €18.00
Single Pearse-Belfast Central €23.50
Return Connolly-Belfast Central €36.50
Single Sandymount-Sydenham €27.50
Return Sandymount-Sydenham €37.50
Single Sydenham-Connolly £13.25
Single Sydenham-Cork £21.50
Single Belfast Central-Balbriggan £10.00
(Sydenham is a commuter station about as far beyond Belfast Central as Lansdowne Road is from Pearse.)
Not sure how they come up with some of those.
On a side point bear in mind that using two or more separate tickets for the one journey is against IÉ's by-laws.
