However, pay as you go cards cannot be used beyond Balbriggan, only pre-paid monthly or yearly tickets. James |

I was making the point that people are actually able to understand that pay-as-you-go only goes as far as the Short Hop zone boundary. Colm didn't seem to think that they could! |

The thing is, the maximum fare is already in excess of the deduction made when you tag-on.I'm not so sure of this. As I understand it, validators were fitted in Drogheda from the start to allow for people who inadvertently do this.

Given that nobody actually reads anything any more due to being continuously bombarded with small print, it is quite likely that a lot of Leap users don't understand that it only works within short hop.
Three years after signing up most people will have forgotten the limits the first time they try to use a leap card to get to Kilcock and find out they can't tag off. |

Here's a question?
What happens when a LEAP card with a Point-to-Point ticket and e-purse is presented at Pearse? How does the system know that you are using the P2P (to Drogheda or Kildare) or want to take a DART to Bray or a commuter to Leixlip? Does it depend in the tag-off point bearing in mind that many station soutside the Short-hop zone do have validator at all times? or is this a case where separate LEAP cards are needed? |

If you've tagged on inside the P2P zone, and tag off outside, it knows where you tagged on and will deduct the correct fare. My P2P is Drogheda to Lansdowne Rd. I'm gone Pearse to Dun Laoghaire and it worked fine.
What I haven't tried yet is combining a P2P journey with a PAYG journey, such as Drogheda to Dun Laoghaire. I could see this causing problems as the journey could easily be over 90 minutes. James |

When you say validators "only has validators for a few hours", unless Sallins does something very different to other stations, the validators are available all the time, just with the doors open. You should always tag on when using a P2P ticket, otherwise your ticket won't show up on the RPU checkers. However, as far as I can tell, not tagging off incurs no penalty. James |
