Bought student train ticket Limerick-Dublin, just noticed student card is expired

    Hi there,

    So I am travelling tommorow to Dublin from Limerick with Irish Rail & bought a student return ticket online. I have only just noticed that my card expired in August this year... I was sure it was okay until December.

    My question is: will I be safe to travel or will they fine me? How often do they check student cards if at all? What are the consequences? I'm really worried now & not quite sure if I should just act natural & go or if I should tell them my card expired in August. Advice?

    I have a college ID which has expired in August this year.

    So you're not a student now then?

    No, I finished degree this year but as I said, I thought the ID was valid until graduation. I even still have books on loan from that college.

    Well then if your card is expired, and you're not a student, you're not entitled to travel on a student ticket.

    Call them on 1850 366 222 (with the reservation number) and see if they can change it to an adult ticket.

    Thanks! I'll do that now
