Student TravelCard grace period on Iarnrod Eireann?

    Can anyone tell me if there is a grace period on the student travel cards for IE?
    I've heard from friends that there is a one month's grace period, but I can't find anything on the IE website.
    I can't get a travelcard in the meantime as the shop that sells them in college doesn't reopen until the 21st.

    Any help appreciated.

    In fairness, a replacement could have been bought at any time up to expiry. A grace period is not a right.

    When buying a ticket, I imagine they at least insist the card is current for the outward leg.

    Up until Jan 20 you only need to show any student card, not the travelcard

    I wasn't exactly tripping over myself to buy on in the middle of exams.

    :confused: In fairness, nobody said it was.

    Thanks. Looks like I'll be availing of the services of Bus Eireann instead of IE so. :pac:

    Keep an eye on the website. Jan 20th was picked because that's date of new timetable. the student offer may be extended
