[04/02/2011] 16.00 Connolly-Sligo train Friday

Any idea what happened to this train on Friday last? 3 carriages on a Friday evening is absolutely crazy. Dangerously overcrowded. Practically every inch of space taken up with people standing / sitting - including the toilets.

Had an absolute earful of students whining about why people didnt immediately jump up and give them their seats. Then anyone getting off had to battle their way off the train at every stop it was so overcrowded.

No idea why but there just isn't enough coaches to go round

Any word on the carriages from the 6-car 22K under repair Mark? They've been in Scotland a while now, and presumably would be a candidate for deployment to the Sligo line on its return once whatever acceptance testing is completed.
