Maybe this is a silly question but I think it's worth asking.
I went to HJ&D Dart station on Saturday and had to make several trips by Dart so I used the TVM to buy an all day ticket. The machine offered me two choices: inner hop and outer hop. No matter which of these I chose, it then showed me a screen which only mentioned short hop tickets.
There was no indication if short hop was inner hop, outer hop or a third, undocumented kind. I checked the IR website but the price I paid (€8.40, I think) didn't match the only ticket I could find there which was an All Day Rail ticket.
When I purchased the ticket, it didn't say which zones it applied to and had a box where I had to write a CIE ID Card number. Are ID cards really required for one day adult tickets? If they are, surely the TVM should say this before selling them?
