13:05 Dublin-Sligo Dec 30th. 4 carriage commuter (driver actually announced it as the "13:05 commuter service to Sligo").
Jammed. No heat. Everyone around me asked the ticket inspector could he do something about getting it turned on, to which he said "I'll see". Still wasn't on when I stood up to get off at Carrick on Shannon, when I realised my legs were half numb with the cold.
11:00 Sligo-Dublin Jan 3rd. Proper new InterCity train, plenty of space nice and warm for the first hour. Until the sun went in and I realised that's what had been keeping me warm, the heat was off again.
