This one is easy, they supplied specific and precise information, you made an offer, they accepted the offer and valid contract exists.

The official IE line is tickets are valid by the most direct route so does that mean

1) The shortest route (Dublin Limerick via Nenagh is 3 miles shorter than the Junction)
2) The fastest route and clearly there are many times where double back is faster than waiting around
UK rule is one of three if not otherwise restricted (ie Any Permitted):

a) anything station to station (direct)
b) the 'shortest' (3 mile margin of error)
c) anything in the horrendously complicated Routeing Guide

But as we have no RG we are left to guess.
