    I don't think it's unheard of for timetables to be submitted way before they're actually approved; IIRC BÉ submitted its revised 002 timetable a long time before they actually got the go-ahead to implement it.

    Nothing wrong with that at all, in fact it would show them as being somewhat prepared and progressive but to forget/neglect something as basic and essential as updating the revisions when the route between Carlow-Dublin changed almost in its entirety is a massive oversight and shows a level of incompetence deserving of instant dismissal!

    What route are these fares for?

    There for Carlow - Dublin this Wednesday. Seeing as the train's only €15.40 return (plus Luas) it's hard to justify getting the bus.

    Oh they are the new on-line fares! I was a bit confused over the midweek return now being the same price as the day and monthly return!

    As for your special offer fare to Dublin on the train it suits your needs but those tickets are only valid after 9.30am Monday-Friday, The normal fare to Heuston is in the region of €18.50 single/return

    €15.40 is what I'm quoted on-line, but then there's €2 per on-line booking and €1 for Visa or Mastercard, so that discount's gone. The machine in the station has 2 fares for one day return: €15.40 and €12, so I've no idea what it's going to cost me.

    On Monday to Thursday and Saturday the booking office or telesales does a midweek fare of €15.40 PLUS extra for the Luas or bus, This increases to the normal fare of €18.50 on Fridays and Sundays.

    If you thought that was a bit confusing there is currently an offer for fares from Carlow of €12 available for journeys after 9.30 Monday to Friday and €15 Saturday and Sunday but only for journeys single or day return starting in Carlow, also these are only available in the booking office AFAIK and again the Luas or bus add-on costs extra on top of these fares.
