I was on a Cork-Dublin train (the 17:30 on a Sunday, for those counting) and went up to the dining car around quarter past seven and it was closed down (without warning or notice), with the one staff member doing... something, I'm sure. He said it was closed because he had to change train at Heuston when he got in.

I asked the train host when she came by and she came back a while later saying he had to count his money. I really can't see how it'll take an hour to do that, even for the catering staff who are mostly more familiar with Polish zlotych, Latvian lats, or Lithuanian litas...
