Going the wrong way to get to where you are going - Page 2

As many will know there are times when you end up passing through your station non stop to get a connection back owing to the large gaps in the timetable

The Platform 11 position on this has always been if it is in the timetable planner, it is a legitimate journey and no extra fare is due, if it is in the journey planner

Eg
10:00 Connolly Belfast for Donabate change Drogheda (Sunday)
18:40 Heuston Thurles for Monestervin change Portarlington

YOU SHOULD NOT PAY ANY EXCESS FARE if challenged you are correct though IE staff will claim you are not. I made a trip Sallins Dublin via Newbridge before Xmas but there was no check enroute

We would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has met with resistance while making such a journey
