I can't find anything online other than it talking about fare capping on short-hop zones. I know the capping won't take place as its outside the short-hop zone but can the card be used at all on this route?

The short-hop zone is mentioned when they are talking about capping, hence why I asked the question. Not hard to send a polite response.....

Edit: Although thinking about it a bit more, the tag-on/tag-off commuter-rail Leap system wouldn't be suitable for Intercity and having two different Leap systems depending on the train journey would still lead to confusion so not quite sure how to square that circle...

Please note: TFI Leap Card cannot be used on intercity train services. It can only be used to travel on train services within the regions illustrated above.
Where does the Leap Card work? The Leap Card can be used for rail travel between stations within the 'Short Hop Zone'. This Zone includes all stations in the Dublin area from Kilcoole to Balbriggan and Commuter Stations from Dublin City Centre to Kilcock and from Dublin Heuston to Sallins and Naas.
Apologies for resurrecting such an old thread but it came up in a search. As a visitor to Dublin I was in Howth today and I wanted to go to Hazelhatch. The journey planner suggested the DART to Connolly, the Sligo train as far as Maynooth and the W6 bus to Hazelhatch. The young lad said he'd like a spin on the bus so we took the suggested route. There was no indication in the TFI journey planner than the leap card could not be used on the Sligo train. I didn't even think about it not being allowed. Tickets weren't checked. Was this not actually allowed?
No, that was fine. It only matters that you travel within the zone which you did, not what the train is or what it's final destination is.
Thanks. That's good to know.
