Train ex Hazelhatch at 7.22 is the 6:30 ex Carlow
Train ex Sallins at 7:29 is the 6:45 ex Portloaise

Most Dublin Portlaoise trains have been 1 coach short for ages, IE denied it but there simply are not enough coaches when in fact there should be 1 spare full 8 coach train available until 9am ish

Rules state no train should leave its starting point with a lighting failure but is allowed to proceed if it happens en route. Its a difficult question, would you rather it cancelled thats where it gets tricky. First priority is get you a to b, followed quickly by doing it on time and three by getting seat. The lights should be on in fact its fairly impossible to lose all lights unless someone is thick about switching it on correctly since there is a battery and normally 2 independent generators, you do loose any meaningful AC if only one generator is available

Derek should be able to turn up specifics
