That is the old logo – so this ticket is from some time in the last millennium;
Cut your nails Nigel.
Don’t cut your nails Nigel, they are perfect. Forget about the year of the ticket- I’m wondering how the elephant was able to travel to Dublin on a child ticket. I suppose he then wandered into the museum to avoid a shower and accidentally died when he sucked the ticket into his sinus cavities. Strange world.

I remember using those going to school from 1988 to early 90s…..always hoping the ticket inspector would just take off part of a journey so you could reuse next time in machine and get a free journey. Wuhoo
Irish Rail as a brand started in Feb 1987, so this predates then.
I’m fairly sure CIE was on the tickets for a while after
Bike looks like a Honda 125 I once had, briefly. I still bear the scars. My guess is 79.
The CB125 models had dual clocks back then. My money is on the CB100 which had just the speedo, no rev counter.

Decent effort Gringo, but you’re no Matt Pilates.
There can only be one!
Definitely after 988 for the ticket on the left – it says “Dublin” on it. The ticket on the right could date anytime from the creation of the English language (as Irish already existed). Glad to be of assistance.
