If you do it regularly enough, you get to know lower numbers at the Cork end, higher numbers at the Dublin end.
But a lot of people aren't regulars.
I think it helped delay the train yesterday.
The 15:30 from Cork was in half an hour late and boarding for the 19:00 only started at 18:55. Eventually, we left 7 or 8 minutes late, but if people had been able to get into the carriages faster, that may have come back a bit.
Still, thanks to the miracle of timetable padding, we were on time into Cork.
