Welcome Peter
17:10 serves Athlone so it ain't changeable, the 17:18 to Newbridge returns to Dublin to become the 18:45 to Newbridge so it can't be extended
I've had some fun arguments about the service with management, basically they don't have enough coaches to ensure all trains are of the maximum length, some of the Port Laois services are only 5 coaches when they should be 6. Problem really is the mixing of high capacity suburban trains with intercity trains
The 17:30 should get some extra seats in the next few months, 50 or 60 doesn't sound much but its something
Double decker is a little technical provision has been made for it but only for electric trains in Dublin city but its a last resort but we are in a much better position than the UK to actually use them
IE will spin a story of lack of track capacity, its not its lack of physical trains to fill the capacity there is one wide open gap at 17:35 lying idle and why don't all the Fridays only run every day ?
