Painful memories return!
And when I say painful I mean physically painful as in crouched over or crushed against the window!
I took the 07:46 ex Maynooth this morning, what I thought was one of the lighter loading trains, how wrong was I!
I boarded at clonsilla and after castleknock the usual crushloads you associate the "calcutta line" were clear to see, with people at ashtown and broombridge forcing themselves on it was horrible!
The tunnell at Connolly is a nightmare! Had to go down it to get to platform 5 and when the platform alteration was announced we had to walk back that way with all the passengers disembarking the train coming towards us down the tunnell!
On a side note I noticed that the internal visual info service on the train listed all the stations the train would stop at, all the way in at all stations the train stopped at with the exception of Drumcondra of course!
