Rather disappointed the RSC chief inspector attitude to the problem.

People are regularly standing on intercity trains particularly into Heuston, thats not on.

All very much a case of Irish Rail said it was ok, so its ok. Sadly it will take a nasty incident before someone listens up. The UK had a incident with a rush hour train in 1991 at 5-10mph, 1 dead, 265 injured, ok it was a ancient train but repeat same for a modern train at 30mph result would be nasty

At least in the UK they are getting down to hard data http://www.publications.parliament.u.../201/20107.htm
