The 1900 Heuston-Cork is currently being dominated (and passengers being hassled) by people who are drunk or actively heading for drunk. On-train staff are making themselves scarce.

Yet another reason IE should have kept a Mark 3 set for sporting events, so that the Mark 4s wouldn't have to be steamcleaned to get the puke smell out before the early Dublin service the following morning.
