Surely it should be that difficult?
Quote:
At Heuston and Athlone, have a sign at the entrance to the platform saying
Galway including
Athenry
...
Ballinasloe
Carriage 1-3 (or whatever combination is used)
Westport including
Castlebar
...
Roscommon
Carriage 4-6
All other destinations: any carriage
|
Then have the train staff check everyone individually (not just their ticket, as some people may be using the parallel route rule*) between Heuston and Athlone and if anyone is in the wrong section direct them to the other. Have staff at Athlone directing people there. Have the signs on the sides and inside of the carriages correct. Have the sign at the front of the train with all terminii (Galway / Westport / Ballina).
* If your final destination is between (not on) railway lines, you are allowed use the return part of your ticket from the other line in certain circumstances, e.g if travelling to Belmullet from Dublin, you can return from Ballina or Westport.
