Hi did a day trip Wicklow to Cork last week. I first tried to use the TVM to buy my ticket (student return). While they will now at last sell student tickets (first time ive ever seen them on a tvm, so no more excuses for a free trips to Dublin in the afternoon when the ticket office is closed) it wont sell tickets to anywhere on the cork line, or indeed anywhere outside of Sligo-Dublin-Rosslare! (even Belfast line stations arent available.). Any updates to the software due for this?

Secondly when i did buy my ticket (from the booking office), i cant remember the exact price but it was roughly 32 euro return. Given that a Dublin (Connolly with Luas)-Cork student return is 44 euro, and buying a Cork-Wicklow ticket in Cork is normally around 47 euro, whats going on?! This isnt the first time ive been charged this much either. Incidentally the ticket is valid via Dublin, as it includes the 90bus/luas on it.
