    Got a couple of these, used one but don't know which, doh! At the station is there a way of checking the valid one before travelling?

    Ticket machine (not validator) should indicate previous usage and loaded tickets.

    Alternatively if you have a NFC enabled android phone download the Leap app.

    Leapcard-Newbie question!
    Can you use this card on a bus eirean ride, then get on Luas, then Dublin bus, then Dart, etc... all in the one 24 hours?
    Or can you only use it one (any one) of them?

    Just beside the touchscreen there is a card holder where you put the card to top it up. Pop it in there and it will bring up the details

    You can mix and match to your heart's content.

    For Dublin Bus, Luas & Dart there are daily caps to your fare, max €10.
    Bus Eireann will be extra on top of that, I think.

    Not for this particular card which is what the thread is all about.

    You could start off in Dublin Airport, get 6 of you (2 adults and 4 children) into the city centre, then Luas to Cherrywood, bus to Dun Laoghaire, Dart to Bray. Bus back into town, Nitelink home etc etc with no additional payment. It really is brilliant value.

    I have some foreign visitors coming in 10 days. Can I buy them two of these cards but pay for them in my name? Is the card linked to the purchasers name?

    You can buy them (if there are any left). Not linked to any name, no registration required.

    For some reason this ticket covers the train from Balbriggan but not the bus back which I have just found out

    I doubt it covers any Bus Eireann services but should cover all DB services....

    The free places around Dublin where you can leave your christmas shopping for a few hours are also giving out one of these cards when you use their service (it's free and handy if you have a few heavy bags!!)

    * it's called shop and drop service I used the one in the old Clerys on north Earle street

    Validity on Bus Eireann services is only for the 1916 Leap card.

    Visitor Leap is not valid on BE.

    Regular Leap card has separate fares, BE not included in Dublin zone for cap.

    I bought 2 of these ages ago, but will not get to use them before they expire on 31st Dec, so the first two posters to request one can have one each, for free.
