Back on topic folks

There is a early morning Sligo Dublin service which will spread the load on the earlier train from Longford and provide more seats out of Maynooth as well. That service is likely to be a 6 coach IC railcar, yes the proper 6 car one when it arrives

The 7:20 from Maynooth will be 8 coaches

Its likely that some Ashtown passengers will choose to board at Phoenix Park, it doesn't look like there will be a surge of new passengers

So there will be 550 extra seats, plus another 430 standees not accounting for standees on the Sligo service. Thats the guts of an extra 1000 capacity
