    I got a ticket from Tralee to Dublin, Can I stop in Charleville overnight and then continue my journey the next day. Also can you buy student tickets on the internet how? Thanks.

    You are allowed a break of journey which can include an overnight stay(return intercity tickets only) but you must continue your journey on the first available service the next day.

    Yes you can buy student tickets, when you pick your train times it shows the adult price below and shows other ticket types, this has a student option so you add one passenger to the student option and change the adult ticket from 1 to zero.

    Yes as that would be the first available service allowing you to continue your journey.

    Yes.


    What it means is that you must complete your journey in the same calendar day except where the timetable does not allow this, so if you get off one service and there is a later train you should continue on that service but if the service you take your break on is the last of the day you are allowed an overnight stay(return tickets only!) but you must continue your journey at the first available opportunity the next day which would be the first train.
