Shorter trains!

[sinead]

Has anyone any explanation as to why the 7.29 train from Sallins to Heuston (its a train from Portlaoise) has been 2 carriages shorter all this week. Used to be an irregular occurence and is happening more regularly and now every day this week. Used to be that you could possibly - shock horror - get a seat. Had the pleasure of standing all week. Is it Irish Rail policy if a train comes into Heuston with most people sitting to make it shorter? So frustrating especially as I got a reminder re next years annual ticket in my payslip!
