I went to book now for October 12th and there's big bold warnings that the terms have changed and in October it's only valid on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.
It's letting me select the date. Will I chance it or will they throw the ticket back at me in the Saturday?

I have a ticket for a Friday, that was booked before they changed the applicable dates. I presume it will be valid.
But it was given to me by a friend so doesn't have my name on it. Anybody know if they check your name when boarding??

depends, some drivers will ask to see id and some won't. i have been asked on dub-limerick, dub-galway but not dub-wicklow.

So I wonder to they check the ticket against the actual booking name?
Maybe I'll edit the name on the ticket before printing!
