Default Annual Rail Ticket Costs

I am coming up to renewing my annual ticket and I'm seriously considering driving to Wicklow town and getting the train from there. Can anyone shed any light on why there is a huge jump on price between a ticket starting at Wicklow versus a ticket starting at Rathdum, Arklow or Gorey.

An annual ticket from Wicklow to Dublin is €1,770.00, from Rathdrum to Dublin it's €2,440.00, from Arklow up it's €2,590.00 and Gorey it's €2,700.00.

So the difference between the cost of an annual ticket between Wicklow and Rathdrum is €670 yet the cost between Rathdrum and Gorey is only €260.

Anyone else think this is bizarre? The train journey between Wicklow and Rathdrum is typically only 10 minutes whereas between Rathdrum and Gorey it's 30 minutes approx.
