There was no assistance of any sort (tannoy announcement, identification of any carriage with some capacity etc) from the IE employess on the train.

I am unclear if any passengers were left behind today- but with normal load factor growth this train is soon going to have to leave passengers behind.

IE management readers please note.
That's the 6:30 Carlow-Heuston train and it is a shoter train than before. It's a pushpull set with 4? carriages.

It's been standing room only from Kildare both today and yesterday. The delays boarding at HH today were due to people not moving in along the passageway to make room.

Someone had to bang on the window and try to 'wave' them along.
