Security threat to the Peoples Republic (of Cork)

[Oisin88]

Had an oral exam in UCC first thing this morning and had gone there by train. Fiancee and myself decided it would be nice to go to CobH for the day so dragged bags across Cork to the train station.

Up to the ticket office:

Oisin 88: Hi. can you tell me where the left luggage is?
Ticket seller: Sorry, there is none, security.....

Anybody tell me what that is about? Had to drag the bags all around CobH. Luckily the people in th Queenstown experience let us leave the bags in the ticket office.

Well to be fair

If you check on the IE website buried somewhere it says with respect to Cork Kent

Lockers: No
Luggage Minding: No

If either said yes well then we could have some fun

Times we live in etc, that said you might be doing everyone a favour by assisting in the reconstruction of Cork station....

[Oisin88]

The fact that it says on the website that there is no services doesn't make it alright. It could have affected the Cork economy by about €80 if we just came home to Dublin early

The times we live in? Hasn't heuston had a left luggage all through 20 years of Gerry Adams and pals bombing the top part of our island off? Wouldn't all the other cities on the continent be more likely to take a hit than Cork?

Strangely only Connolly has lockers to my knowledge which makes a joke of the security line.

Heuston is listed has having neither lockers or left luggage

I got a insightful lecture from a senior officer of the British Transport Police last week and it really changed my view on the 'bomb scare' they have it worked out to a fine art

heuston has left luggage though,i used it during the summer.

Every major station in London has left luggage. Pricey enough, mind you, but better than dragging your bags all over the city.
