Has anybody else noticed that trains no longer get a platform number on the display board in Heuston until they are there and ready to board (usually about 2 mins before departure time) ?
Yesterday a lot of people saw the 18:35 train to Thurles coming into platform 2 and went to board it (at 18:30)...and were promptly chased down platform 2 by IR staff and removed from the Train (as it was not ready for boarding apparently!)....only to be allowed back on the train 2 mins later.
One question I would ask is why the train did not arrive at the platform ready for boarding? It wasnt an incoming train full of passengers!
