As promised some fun from the weekend

So I was booked on the 18:30 to Tralee on Thursday, seat A27 which the website told me was the bottom centre window at the partition with first, well actually is in first on the train when you check

Coach A was infact from what I could see a citygold coach

Yellow jumper dude had hijacked the whole of coach C (72 seats) for the 36 standard class bookings on the train and it was the usual sit anywhere thing, yellow jumper dude fecked off 8 minutes before departure and took the badly photocopied this seat is reserved notices with him, so god help you if you board beyond Heuston

So to the return leg, I book a seat A29, grand there is no first class so the software goof won't effect me. IE went one better as I was the only reservation on the 17:35 Limerick Dublin they decided to withdraw it from the booking system.

But I have a seat number, http://www.platform11.org/images/boo...eservation.JPG to prove they pulled a fast one

Show up and guess what coach A is a citygold coach, being that I boarded in Templemore its a long walk to reach coach A and not worth it when you know the seat ain't there and the train was empty.

So ZERO points to IE
