The ongoing seat reservations farce continues

7am ex Cork is still mean't to be a Mk3 but the seat reservation people where told its a Mk4, likewise for the 7am and 1pm out of Dublin, depending on what isn't broken the 7am ex Dublin is Mk4 not this week though

On a Mk4 coach you can in fact reserve the wheelchair space online, not quite sure how it works but it does ensure no one gets left behind and it can carry 7 wheelchairs which is more than twice what the actual minimum requirement, where a number of wheelchairs are to be carried a set of seats can be removed on the older coaches to provide space

Tip for all on the 15:00 Dublin Cork and 19:30 Cork Dublin if you are booking a seat book a seat below number 42 and if it goes wrong you should end up in the first class coach
