I was on that train this morning and the situation was exacerbated by a few other matters.

The train was about 7 minutes late by the time it left Donabate. Therefore, all the people who had arrived for the 8.00 service to Connolly tried to board the 7.51. I am sure this happened further up the line.

Furthermore, the train went to what I would call the Northbound platform at Howth Junction instead of its normal platform. As a result, many people who were waiting for the DART got onto the Commuter train.

I am surprised that the passengers are able to interact in a civil fashion when we are being treated like cattle on their way to market.

So after one of the most uncomfortable train journeys of my life, the train was 20 minutes late getting into Lansdowne.

What a joke.
