Mark if you get a chance can you also get the cross-route tickets checked, I think there is a similar problem here. My usual ticket from Arklow to Newbridge went up from €22.20 to €24.20, yet each individual ticket stayed the same (i.e. Arklow to Connolly is unchanged at €17.20, and Newbridge to City Centre is also unchanged €18.20). These are student return's by the way. So I wounder why the through ticket went up, I thought only season tickets on intercity routes were to go up this time? Could Irish Rail have sneaked in a fare rise on rare tickets in the hope no one would notice?
