Overcrowding -Evening Herald

[Mark Gleeson]

Page 8 tonights Herald has a slightly OTT piece on a over crowded train between Tralee and Dublin

We understand people frustration but one basic fact remains they boarded the train in full knowledge it was full and that they would have to stand

A bus was made available at Thurles but no one availed of the option

Full scan later but this curious notice appeared in the IE site shortly after 14:45
