I went to Kilkenny last Saturday on the 18:25 from Heuston. I booked my tickets on the internet from my house at 17:55 and went straight down to pick them up. Machine wouldn't do it for me but the ticket office helped out. I'm glad there was no queue.

Anyway, I got to carriage A and my seat was occupied. There were bits of paper in the reservation clips above the seats, but they were for Galway to Dublin. I just sat in a seat opposite.

Also, how come I wasn't able to reserve seats on the 15:46 back from Kilkenny on the sunday? The train was packed and it was a Mk3 with the same plastic clips over the seats. It also had "you can reserve this seat on www.irishrail.ie" (I think) which was not much comfort for the people standing.
