2009 Fares

[Thomas Ralph]

The new Intercity fares are on irishrail.ie now (even if you're booking a journey for today, tomorrow, or Wednesday). Looks like the online prices (like €20/€33 single Heuston-Cork) are the same.

Sample fares:

Heuston-Cork
Off-peak day return €51 (from Cork only)
Child return €26
Weekender €60.50
Faircard €51
Student €46
Can't discern the normal adult fare because it's pricing as two €33 singles, but if it follows the same increase pattern as the other fares, it will be €70.50 for a five day return and €78 for a monthly return

Heuston-Limerick
Off-peak day return €47
Child return €26
Weekender €51
Faircard €41.50
Student €36.50
Estimated five day return €57.50, estimated monthly return €63.50

Connolly-Sligo
Child return €26
Weekender/Faircard €34.50
Student €32
Estimated off-peak day return €31.50, estimated normal return €44.

Heuston-Thurles
5 day return €46
Off-peak day return €37.50
Child return €18.50
Weekender €41
Faircard €32
Student €27
Estimated monthly return €51.50

Heuston-Waterford
Off-peak day return €27
Normal return €34.50
Child return €16
Weekender/Faircard €28
Student €25.50

Enterprise prices don't seem to have changed.

I haven't included single fares but for the most part (at booking offices anyway) they're the same or a few euro less than returns.

The Luas/90/91/92 bus addon is gone up 10c single/20c return; it's cheaper to use a smartcard if you're just going to the city centre.

Usual disclaimers apply to this (i.e. I can't guarantee I typed everything in correctly) but should be correct.
