Now no Bookings after May4th

It's great having the four fare types listed, but if you hover over each heading where the little i is, it doesn't tell you what that type of fare offers, for example, hover over "No Flex" and it shows "No Flexible Fare" when it should show details of what each fare type is.

I know if you click the fare it will show you details, but surely it should do it on the hover over of the headings, the i gives the impression it would.

"Mag Stripe on TVM" being used for ticket collection method is obvious to most of us but for a lot of people it won't be, surely some more friendly terminology can be used here?

Meanwhile there still is no ability to type your own time or select your own time in the booking engine, still this silly time window selections from a drop down.

South Tipp Line now offering online fares.

Wow - there are some fabulous discounts available on the Sligo line. Just did random checks on about 5 different dates and all three fare bands are the exact same price for every train on all 5 days.

12.29 each way makes for a whopping 7 cent discount on a walk-up day return from Edgeworthstown to Connolly. In fairness, the same fare seems to be available to return on a different day which represents a decent saving on an open return.

The flexible tickets aren't clear to me

Are they fixed once the tickets are printed? And if so, does that mean if I want to go to Dublin for work on a Monday morning and return on the Friday afternoon, once I have printed my ticket on the Monday, my flexibility has gone on the Friday?

I guess this could be got around by booking two singles, but that is creating hassle.

Hopefully once the glitches are sorted out it will help considerably in generating additional traffic on this line.

Clonmel - Heuston single from as little as €21.98.

However bought at the ticket office in Tipp town a day return to Heuston is €34.50 (Band N). However booking online is generating a day return fare of €45.96 medium flexible...or fully flexible for €63.96

There is a similar issue with day return fares between stations on the line where a day return fare is available for the single fare. The online system is not recognising this.

Are the Taxsaver loyalty tickets gone with the new system?
