This one bugs me greatly. I would like to be offered the choice of a flexible ticket (for the return portion, but why not even for the full journey) online, even if it means I will be paying more.
Often if travelling to Dublin for work, I know I will be on the 6am train ex Cork. I don't know for certain what time I will finish up or whether I will end up socializing with people from the Dublin office, so I could be on any one of the 5pm, 6pm, 7pm or 9pm trains down.
What all this means is that I end up buying my ticket in the station at 5:50am. It doesn't encourage online booking.
