I think it's 6 cars, and i'm presuming that that has been resolved with all stations on the gorey/rosslare line and that there are no stations with platforms for four-cars resulting in people having to move to the top of the train.

TBH with the standing on the 17:25, i've seen alot worst, (even with eight carriage trains) there are maynooth and Drogheda trains that need the extra carriages alot more urgently, got the 19:00 pearse maynooth at connolly (4 car) and barely got inside the door!.

I thought that with the 17:25 being a commuter train that you weren't garaunteed a seat regardless of origin, destination or stage that a train arrives in. Look at Drogheda and Dundalk!
