I was going down to my gf's Thursday from Thurles. Had a sports bag full of clothes to change into for two days bottles of lynx typical stuff you put in a bag for two nights etc. Anyway i stored my bag on the luggage rack in the end of coach A (the coach behind the locomotive)

When the train arrived at Limerick Junction i couldn't get through to retrieve my bag because of that stupid trolley service. After waiting patiently in my seat for them to pass by passengers started boarding the train.i had no choice but to go out the door at the top of the coach and come in the door at the rear to retrieve my bag. I think they should stop the trolley service operating while the train is in the station. They should make the people pushing these trolleys wait in the gangways so they won't block passage ways.

The same thing happened to me in Templemore, had reserved seat back to Thurles. (Before anyone asks why i reserved a seat from Templemore to Thurles in the first place given its only 5 minutes, it was during the half price Saturday promotion they had in July cost €8 return including credit card fees versus €13.20 online every other day or €10.30 in the station) by the time i got in my seat we had passed Brittas. Complained, received the same standard pre-typed for everyone letter from Iarnród Éireann as on previous complaints loged with them with my name and address spelt wrong. If i mention what happened Thursday i might get another for my collection of Iarnród Éireann letters.

Also why was there Bus transfers from Thurles-Cork today. Limerick-Cork passengers had to get the train to Thurles to meet the bus. I thought it was the 29th track work/bridge replacement was going on
