I was at an Iarnród Éireann presentation tonight about the implementation of new ticketing systems.
It seems that IÉ are going to be trialling eTickets, mobile tickets, expansion of the Leap card across all IÉ services (except Enterprise) and contactless card payments in the Greater Dublin DART and Commuter services.
One of the handouts was a PDF ticket from Cork to London, and the format is a bit strange.
They have no AZTEC or QR codes but they do have a weird blocky barcode, and the ticket is issued in parts. There's a main part of the ticket, a control ticket for the ferry part and what they call "seated booked allocation" print out which shows seat numbers etc reserved.
Unfortunately I can't upload the ticket yet (they have "not for publication/do not copy" printed on them), and the eTicket trial will be for staff PRIV/FIP tickets to start with and then to the public in September.
