[21-2-2006] Overcrowding on 7.48 from Newbridge

Was it just me, or was this train this morning a few carriages shorter than normal? Many people were standing in Newbridge, by the time the train reache Sallins and then Hazelhatch, it was dangerouslty overcrowded!

For reference the 7:48 ex Newbridge is the 7:15 Port Laoise Heuston, calling Monasterevan, Kildare, Newbridge, Sallins and Hazelhatch

The normal train should be a 5 coach MK3 push pull set with roughly 360 seats. This train type was built specifically for long distance commuting
