Trains parked/shunted far from end of platform at Heuston

[Thomas J Stamp]

Usually what happens is that on arrival the loco is unhooked and moves forward to give the gap. Its when this dosnt happen (ie he stops too close to the buffers) that they pilot has to move the carriages. Also, you may be experiancing a brake test before they pull off when you mention the movement 10/15 mins before departure.
