student ticket on train?

koolis02

Hello,
Not sure if this is the right forum...I've purchased a student ticket to travel on the train(irish rail), i'm 16 but i dont have a student i.d card, would my passport be sufficient enough? i read on their website and it says student tickets are for 2nd level students also

No. As is clearly stated on the website a valid form of student ID is required.

ID Card Requirements

Students can avail of these fares by presenting one of the following forms of valid identification:

College ID Card (See terms and conditions below)
Second Level ID Card (See terms and conditions below)
Leap Student Travelcard
International Student Identity Card (ISIC)
iConnect Card (available to 2nd level students)

Terms and Conditions

College ID cards which have no expiry date but have an issue date are valid for 4 years from date of issue. Students who are still in college after the 4 years have expired will need to apply for a Student Travelcard
Second level students can avail of these fares if they are in possession of a personalised official Second Level ID card with an expiry date or a date of birth, where a date of birth is the only indication of validity the student must be 18 years or younger to use the card.
Second level students can avail of these fares if they are in possession of a valid Student Travelcard a valid International Student Identity Card (ISIC) or a valid iConnect Card.
When purchasing from a ticket machine enter the first six digits of your student ID number when requested for your Student Travelcard number (not applicable to weekly or monthly tickets).
Valid National and International student ID cards are accepted when purchasing our Student Intercity tickets.

Yeah, went up to dublin on the 20th and got charged for an adult ticket on top of my already bought student one. In all it cost me 62 euro.... Craziness
