People have been left perplexed by the difference, given about half of the Cork-Galway services go through Dublin while the rest go via Limerick.

Internet users have noticed a ticket hack that can get passengers from Cork to Dublin for half the price - but what they may not know is that doing it is against the rules.

In real terms, that means you're paying around about €66 for every journey - though semi-flexible tickets reduces that somewhat.However, a viral Twitter thread spotted a way to bring that price down by nearly 50% - CorkBeo reports. Although getting to Dublin is going over the €60 mark return, it appears some are buying tickets from Kent Station in Cork to Galway for €17.59 each way instead - but then they're hopping off at changeovers in Heuston in Dublin.One said: "It's cheaper to buy a train ticket from Galway to Cork that switches in Dublin, than it is to buy a train ticket from Dublin to Cork. I don't understand this country.
