Irish Rail 50% Off

VERYinterested

The Sun are running this promotion again, apologies if already posted. The code for today that expires at midnight is SUN1012. Basically you book your ticket online at www.irishrail.ie and when paying enter the code in the box 'Voucher number' at the bottom of the web page. New code is printed again tomorrow.

There are no restrictions listed in the small print. Only thing I can see listed is "Standard class fares are not available in conjunction with premier class travel when making a booking."

They did the same promotion earlier in the summer and pretty much everyone was satisfied with what they tried to book. Promotion ends Saturday, I'll post Thursday's code early tomorrow, as today's code expires at midnight.

Cheers OP, thats a great offer.

Just one question, Do you have to travel back on the train time you book or could you travel on an earlier/later one that day?

VERYinterested

I don't use the train much, but generally you should travel back at the time booked. I have missed a train before and travelled on a later one and the checker didn't have a problem, but you could meet a nasty one.

I think the rule is that you can travel on any train that day, so long as the ticket price would have been the same or less.
So if you booked the cheap off peak fare, and tried to travel at 5pm, you could be in trouble, but if you booked 11am and got the 2pm train (for example), you should be fine.

First off - Many thanks to OP ... this is a great bargain offer!

As for travelling earlier/later, I've done it on a few occasions, and generally without any problems. That being said, if you have the time it is worthwhile going to the ticket desk and getting the teller to stamp your ticket if you do decide to do this ... It'll save any hassle later if you run into a jobsworth ticket inspector!

Whats the situation with the tickets in regard to where you start your journey. I'd like to go from Dublin to Carlow,can i just hop on at carlow which is a stop on the waterford line with one of these tickets.

Once you buy the ticket from their website you can determine where you want to get on and off.

Thanks for today's code.
Anyone know how long more this promo is running for. I am not travelling til Nov 28/29 and tickets cannot be booked more than 28 days prior todeparture.

VERYinterested

It says 'All this week' so I presume it will be over on Saturday.

shellsom

Anyone got todays (Fridays) code? I'd appreciate it!

lucernarian

Do these vouchers work for tickets from Dublin to Belfast/Derry??

Sorry if it's been asked in a previous thread.

VERYinterested

Friday's code is SUN1014. I won't be around tomorrow to post the last code, hopefully someone else will have it.

They work for any train booked on the Irish Rail website, you just put the code in at the bottom of the page where it says 'Voucher Code' so there is no reason why it won't work for you. I saw a lad book a train to Portadown earlier in the week posted on here.

lucernarian

It appears you can for Belfast but not for Derry.

tommy21

Well this has been a great thread. Just booked 8 tickets for various times in November from Cork to Dublin. Not only did I manage to go at the cheap times (€10 each way) for some of them, but got 50% on top of that. Thanks OP you've save me just under €100!

VERYinterested

Happy to oblige, the gas thing is I don't even buy the Sun. We get all the papers here in work!

Love2love

Anyone got today's code? Only seeing this now and there is 8 of us travelling to waterford next weekend. Would be great if we got the discount

ShoulderChip

+1 would love a discount code

Also does anyone know if they allow the code to work on student rates and can I book this now for multiple journies throughout the year

buzz55

Ok, I've even taken the pain of buying the newspaper - but can't find the code on it
Where is it usually, and is it deffo supposed to be in today's paper?

GAMAN

Anyone have the Code my local shop sold out of the SUN early today.

Thanks

bazzman

I bought todays sun but cant seem to find the code in it, is there a certain place where it is each day?

VERYinterested

They must have only ran it Monday to Friday. There was a big upright half page ad featuring the promotion, you couldn't have missed it, only conclusion is that it must not have run 'all this week' as they said. Looks like it will be a regular thing as it was in at the tail end of the summer. I'll keep an eye out for it and post again if it's in.

madmoe

U reckon it will be on this week? If not, can a code form last week be used? I am going to Mayo on Friday....would be handy!

Cheers,

No it's not on this week, the codes expired each day at midnight, it may run again, but I'd say it would be a few months at that.

I booked a trip to Belfast on Friday. €12 return. Excellent value. Thanks OP!

bubso14
