Train discounts for students

simu · 2004-10-01 22:21:47

Does anyone know what sort of a discount you'd get on intercity tickets with the student rail card? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth getting one but of course, they don't give any exact information on the application form. Thanks in advance!

All I know is if you're buying monthly tickets or anything it can save you quite a bit. and it doesnt cost very much so I'm sure over time it'd make up for the €12 or whatever it costs.

I know I was getting a return trian to either cork or belfast and the difference was about 15 euro

anyway email them and ask: info@studenttravelcard.ie

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

I haven't used one in a while but it (Cork Dublin and Cork/Cobh ) was saving me
around 50% - paid for itself the first month.
