Mk4 works since your name is above the seat and there is no hiding from it, when a Mk4 set is rostered the seat res works otherwise is dies. While the train can download the seating manifest itself by wifi the normal proceedure is to use a flash card. If it fails totally the train manager has a print out of the seating list thus it could be done manually since its only one coach
As of this week it appears all Dublin Cork services are Mk4 including the Fridays only so hopefully seat res is sorted and it means I've made my last Mk3 trip
Compulsory reservations are probably a step too far but in time the number of reservable seats will increase something like 40% in standard is the UK standard which is a decent starting point
