Yesterday went relatively well for Irish Rail on the main commuter routes with most services running to time. While DART was significantly busier, most if not all trains were formed by the usual sized sets resulting in levels of overcrowding more typically seen on Drogheda/Dundalk and Maynooth services.
One of the most heavily overcrowded trains was the 1614 Pearse to Drogheda which had well over 600 passengers stuffed into a four car set, but despite at least one dead traction unit managed to operate within two minutes of the none too demanding schedule.
