Using a booked ticket on a later train.

[Jferb]

Are ye sure about this cos I've been explicitly told in the last few weeks, both by members of staff at the booking office in Tralee and at telesales that the price payable is the difference between the fare you've paid and a standard single ticket.

That text is still there, but I have to admit it is ambiguous. http://www.irishrail.ie/home/terms_and_conditions.asp

The understanding is you pay the difference between the fare your paid and the cheapest available at the time you actually travel.

Worst case is therefore the train you choose is sold out and the full fare applies, otherwise its the online price on the new train less the original fare which is consistent with what people have been paying

Even though web fares aren't available less than 60 minutes before departure??
