Great fun this morning, bear with me:

This train is usually coming from Longford but was delayed this morning, 10 mins was the delay time announced.

At 825 the "inter-city" service to Sligo arrived on time.
All of the paying passengers on that train were turfed off and us commuters were boarded on to much confusion.

So we have a big switch with the Sligo passengers dumped out.
Presumably the delayed train from Longford was then used to let them continue their journey.

I have no idea how the passengers on the Longford train were accommodated at all because someone seriously was losing out.
