I tend to get fast non stop trains where 100mph actually happens, been to 103mph once or twice, vast bulk don't get above 90mph

Train was well loaded today, I'd say 275 on board, there was a booking which had taken a whole coach, add in every single person in IE who wasn't rostered and all the managers including Dr Lynch head of CIE and the seats filled up

Oh and in the tradition of Inchicore tools where downed and we got a wave from the assembled staff as we passed, truely sad but still its tradition
