Semi-Flexible Irish Rail Ticket

dulpit

Hi all,

I am booked on train Cork - Dubland on Monday. Tickets are booked as semi-flexible. Am I reading it correctly that it means I can use ticket on the train immediately before or immediately after the time hooked if needed? But nothing more than that?

My return train is at 6pm, there's a decent chance I'll either be able to leave much earlier or much later (either things will go very well or terribly), would I be correct in saying I could get 5pm, 6pm or 7pm train? And obviously only with a specific seat for the 6pm train?

Yes train before/after, and the seat reservation won't exist on board the other train but you should be fine getting seats on a Monday evening.

Any other changes will require a booking office stamp and they may charge 15 euro to validate the ticket for any service that day.

Cool, thanks for the clarity.

Correct

Luckily this was my ticket, as I was delayed in Dubland and had to get the later train. I'd have been in a bit of bother if i hadn't checked - sound lads!
