On the cheap with Irish Rail from Waterford to Kildare

An interesting glitch in Irish Rail's fare structure.

The single flexible rail fare from Waterford to Limerick Junction is €5.29. The single fare from Waterford to Kildare is €14.49.

Irish Rail has two daily direct service from Waterford to Limerick Junction.

You may travel on the direct service at 07.20 to Limerick Junction but you may also travel on the 07.50 Dublin service, changing at Kildare.

The single flexible fare to Kildare to €14.49. Which seems to imply that with a little rail knowledge a passenger can travel to Kildare for €5.29.
