    So I just bought a ticket to go home tomorrow, I went to the internet cafe to print it and then realised that I am an idiot and put the departure point as my destination. Basically I did it backwards, I don't want any hassle tomorrow and I can't get in contact with the bus station becuase of the time but I don't have the cash to buy a new one! Any help would be great! :)

    Unfortunately (from what I've witnessed) the driver can only issue the ticket from the departure destination. If you e-mail Bus Éireann about the problem they may refund you the fare (happened to me once, I had the right ticket but the driver wasn't able to issue the ticket for some reason. Got a refund by emailing them).

    Spot on Niles, the mac number on your email is specific to the journey EXACTLY as booked and the driver is unable to issue a ticket even if he wanted to.

    hi sm124
    Came across this problem when I was driving and I got round it by changing the ticket machine around and issuing the ticket backwards, and signing it, this can be done with the old wayfarer machine just ask the driver nicely
    good luck
