I was on the 7pm Dublin-Cork train last Friday evening, and it took a really nasty lurch somewhere near Buttevant. I know we're all used to questionable ride quality, but this felt a good deal worse. Is it something to be concerned about?

Other points

Seat reservations were being enforced, until we left Heuston. Then the train host placed a few standing passengers in unoccupied reserved seats
The price of a Guinness on the train is more than in the Four Seasons Hotel. In a way anyway. The Four Seasons charges €5.75 for a pint, Irish Rail charge €5.60 for 500 ml.
The train was very busy. It's surprising that the €20 are available
The Irish Rail website doesn't seem to like my new Visa Debit card. It rejected its details when put in as a Laser Card and Visa Credit Card.
