Having gone through the online booking process Nenagh - Dublin is bookable online for €10. The system would have allowed me to book for tomorrow morning's early bird through train and collect my ticket at Nenagh station. On the face of it it seems to suggest a ticket vending machine has been installed. A more likely scenario is that the station booking office has those A4 ticket sheets which were widespread two or three years ago so that they can pop a sheet in the printer and print off the ticket. Then it's just a matter of pressing the perforations to get the ticket from the sheet. If this is indeed the case for Nenagh ticketing it should be possible to do likewise from Roscrea.

In the reverse direction it is possible to book Heuston to any Nenagh line station for a tenner.

So €22/€23 return (including mandatory transaction fee of €2 plus possible extra €1 fee depending on card type used).

All very well this being available but would suggest the group make appropriate representation to IÉ and insist on the promotion being put on the website and Facebook etc...Tipp FM will tell customers originating along the line but the hypothetical Aunty Mary in Dublin thinking of taking a trip down to the in-laws or the casual Dublin-based day tripper is unlikely to know of it. A few posters should be put up around Heuston advertising this fare. Hope this will be of help.

PS: 25% off online bookings until midnight tonight.
Use the following code FB1350 (Source IÉ Facebook page). (Had a scout around the forum but this doesn't seem to have been mentioned already).

Only saw it a few minutes ago.
