Default Waterford-Dublin 6am train

The 6am train got everywhere on time this morning, the only problem was that there was only 3 carriages?? I woke up when we got to Newbridge and there was already about 20 people standing in my carriage and there was a lot of people standing on the platform at Newbridge waiting to get on (majority of them weren't able to).

Surely they can't run this service on 3 carriages?

They now leave a 3car set from the 17:35 in Waterford on Saturdays and just as I though they had got it right on a Monday morning they go and sent the 18:40 on Sunday with only a 3car set for the last 2 weeks. (it was 2 by 3car)

Why can't they leave the other 3car set form the 17:35 in Waterford insted of sending it back to Dublin empty. I'm sure it's not needed on a Sunday as there is a less trains running.

It only Monday that this happons.

That is absolutely ridiculous. IE are breaching the safety rules and are obviously not providing a good service to the public by running short intercity trains. No long distance intercity train should be 3 carriages.
