Default Dundalk-Pearse - Validity of routes

Hi All,

I have a monthly season Dundalk - Pearse ticket.
Is this valid for travel on Dart routes? E.g. Raheny/Kilbarrack/Bayside/Sutton to Connolly/Pearse.

I noticed my card did validate in Bayside Station, surely this is a software bug??

Monthly point to point tickets are valid for any journey between the printed stations and any others within

So Dundalk Pearse is good for example Malahide - Drogheda

Howth branch is a little bit of a weird case, I'd be inclined to say no as it is not on the route between Dundalk and Pearse

I agree. The validators aren't all that intelligent though; I have had a Sandymount-Cork ticket refused at Pearse with the error "destination exceeded", but then the gates at Connolly accepted my fully used Heuston-Cork ticket when I tried it (although I held a valid season ticket).
