I catch the train from Ashtown to Lansdowne with a stop at Connolly along the way. Today I was running late and couldn’t get a ticket at Ashtown before boarding so when I arrived at Connolly, I went to buy a ticket for the journey from Ashtown to Lansdowne.
The guy fined me €50 for the trip from Ashtown to Connolly citing that I shouldn’t have travelled without a ticket. He then charged me for a ticket from Connolly to Lansdowne! Total trip costing me €51.65 – normally something like €2/4 return !
To add insult to injury, the ticket didn’t work in Lansdowne and I had to dart through when someone else used the turnstile!
To add further insult to injury, I always knew I could have done this but said to myself better do the right thing in Connolly and get a ticket !
This happened me before in October/November (I think), but there was always a facility whereby you could buy a ticket at Connolly for the journey you just had – and you see this all the time on Match Day (soccer, Gaelic and rugby)
Am i caught out here or do i ahve a legitimate greivance ?
