    I think it's a great deal when you think about it
    A monthly return Galway Dublin is 48 euros if booked online you could get it for 20 euros some saving

    Yeah, but that was a summer offer.... are you sure they're still available at this price?

    Not your ornery onager

    This says yes: http://www.irishrail.ie/news_centre/news.asp?action=view&news_id=402 certain routes and times ofcourse


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 everton091


    yes they are :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 507 ✭✭✭Tedious Bore


    I'm checking now for Dublin-Tralee, but €20 is the cheapest I'm seeing.

    presumably these €10 fares are bookable online, aren't they?

    I'm booking a mon-sat. the route I want is listed as being included.
    am i missing something?

    and if I'm just being plain thick, do feel free to point this out.

    €10 each way, so €20 is correct if your booking a return ticket


  • Registered Users Posts: 78,218 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    There are certain exclusion dates and the €10 isn't available on every train.

    These are the only trains you can use.

    yeah but its coming up as €20 for a one-way when I click "check price".

    I see on the promotional page linked above that beside the dublin to tralee special fare, there's a 1 in brackets, and further down it says this means not including fridays. Also Oct26th (bank hol) is not included either.


  • Registered Users Posts: 78,218 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    Are you clicking on the wrong train - its only available on the 1100 ex-Dublin Mon-Thurs & Sat.


  • Registered Users Posts: 507 ✭✭✭Tedious Bore


    I don't normally book stuff online.
    realised after trying again, that there was one tick-box with a big red square over it for one option that day.
    guessing this was the one €10 fare for the day.

    stoopid.

    thanks for helping me suss this anyways.
