Irish Rail have interduced their latest attempt to drive passengers away from Waterford line. As of today 18.05 dropped to 3 carrages. Only a hardful of seats free leaving Waterford. This service operates at capacity everyweek with between 360-400 every Sunday. So forcing around 200 passengers onto a 3 carrage in the hope of stopping them from using the service in future. This is due to bad planning of the timetable which leaves a train shortage in Waterford on Mondays.

Told a mate in Kilkenny who is waiting for the train and he asked whats going to happen and he was told if you can get on, then get on if not don't.

Something has to be done...

RUI don't mean to sound rude but its time you get some answers from Irish Rail, not saying you havn't being talking but you need to get them fast.
