Was a mess this morning. Got to Castleknock at about 8:05, 8:20 train arrived at about 8:15.... crush loaded, many many people left behind.
About 8:30 a 4 car train turned up. No announcements, or displays. Most people got on. Busy also at Ashtown, more people get on (persumably those left behind by the previous one). The train is crush load around the doors at this point. Again, NO platform announcements or displays, NO onboard displays or announcements. After Broombridge it becomes apparent the train is going to Docklands. Many angry and confused passengers.
As a side issue, Docklands doesn't seem set up to be able to deal with this many passengers. A 4 car train caused quite a backlog at the turnstiles with people getting in each others way and pushing trying to get through.
