All the trains are sold out for Saturday morning - I've seen visitors on a Ryder cup related website now stuck as to how to get out there.
You would have throught IE could have provided extra services then, as it's not in the Monday-Friday peak...
Ah well - no doubt the aim was to tell everyone how the services sold out, so how great they were, rather then actually be able to say, we were able to provide everyone who needed to travel with transport.
With Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus banned from providing competitor services, looks like IE have the monopoly on this one.....
