Student TravelCard grace period on Iarnrod Eireann?

Rothmans · 09-01-2013 03:42AM #1

Can anyone tell me if there is a grace period on the student travel cards for IE?
I've heard from friends that there is a one month's grace period, but I can't find anything on the IE website.
I can't get a travelcard in the meantime as the shop that sells them in college doesn't reopen until the 21st.

Any help appreciated.

In fairness, a replacement could have been bought at any time up to expiry. A grace period is not a right.

When buying a ticket, I imagine they at least insist the card is current for the outward leg.

Up until Jan 20 you only need to show any student card, not the travelcard

I wasn't exactly tripping over myself to buy on in the middle of exams.

Thanks. Looks like I'll be availing of the services of Bus Eireann instead of IE so. :pac:

Keep an eye on the website. Jan 20th was picked because that's date of new timetable. the student offer may be extended
