Midleton Line Opening - with Buses

Hi Guys,
pardon my innocent question but what do you mean when codes are mentioned, like 120 and 68?

Dave.

Every station has a station number, so instead of typing "Midleton" into the ticket machine, the ticket clerk can just type "068".

I presume a similar thing happens with the ticket type - single, return, child, student, etc.

Given the lack of training in Irish Rail from time to time passengers encounter booking office staff who cannot issue the ticket you want since they lack the various codes.

Knowing the code yourself while a pain in the neck can be helpful. Its rather sad when passengers have to tell the clerk how to issue tickets!

Someone really needs to save Irish Rail from themselves

So in Cork, no Midleton on the TVM

The Cork actually will make an operating profit so it can't be criticized on the funding basis
