There is a shortage of railcars since the Sligo timetable change of Jan 21st which means there is 1 4 coach train in place of a 6 coach and one 6 coach in place of a 8 coach

This should be resolved within the next week of so, as we have been saying for nearly a year there simply aren't enough railcars in the fleet to sustain the current timetable, Irish Rail deny it all we can do is track the short ones and give people notice where possible
Mark, just thought I'd mention, when I was on the 19:29 Pearse Maynooth going home last night at Ashtown, What I thought looked like an 8 coach 29K train flew past on the opposite side heading for Connolly. This is the usual time the inbound Sligo train passes by there. I could be wrong, I did only get a glimpse for a second or two but it did look like a 8 coach to me.
