I got the 12:45 from Clonsilla last Sunday.
It was 90% full by the time it arrived.
No signs up in Clonsilla to indicate if there were any extra specials being provided for Match Day.
There were a good number of people waiting to get on at Clonsilla more than the normal morning rush hour amount - easily 100-120
Just managed to squeeze on and stand by the first pole inside the door (I think her name was Agneta) - the aisles were full.
Temperatures soared
All at Coolmine squeezed on - I mean squeezed on
Temperatures soared higher
Castleknock - half the people left behind. One woman squeezed on with her young son (and had a row with a rubbadubDub)
Phoenix Park - about 25 there, none got on (after making their way to the station in the middle of nowhere)
TF for the bit of fresh air from the open doors.
Ashtown - no one got on.
Broombridge - about 40 people waiting (is this a record?) none got on.
More fresh air though
Drumcondra - egress like something in Tokyo central.
