Dundalk - Balbriggan Train Fare?

Basically what it says on the tin

anyone know the fare for Dundalk to Balbriggan pre-10am return?

The tickets tool on the CIE website says these cannot be booked online and subsequently does not display a price.

Trying to calculate if buying a tax-saver ticket (which only works from Balbriggan in) is worth switching over to from Mathews coaches

Cheers @n97_mini, didnt know that existed.

Turns out even with the LUAS included in the taxsaver ticket, the coach makes the journey about €150 cheaper!

That is if I am right in my reading of the taxsaver website that taxsaver Dublin rail tickets of any permutation only go for the "short-hop" zone?

Even with the point to point rail tickets Im saving about €60 a month... I guess if I was planning on travelling for more than 6 months the savings would start getting better by buying the yearly ticket, but thats a lot of money up front when job security for 365 days is not guaranteed...

This should help you along the way. You can purchase a monthly taxsaver ticket which covers you into Dublin and intermediate trips in between.

Brilliant, thanks Losty, that has made quite a difference to my calculations!

The Irish Rail Taxsaver Office will sell you almost any adult ticket or combination of adult tickets on an annual or monthly basis.
