its becoming a joke. the 06.50 has been a carriage short the last week or so.. I took to driving in as an experiment last week. based on that I might not be renewing my annual ticket! or at least not from dundalk

I suspect the missing carriage was being repainted. Not really on to be missing a carriage on the most crowded train of the day so they can have a shiny new paint job.

well they must have finished painting it as it was back this morning

Yes, bur expect more unnecessary withdrawels for painting in the coming weeks. They could repaint everything by cycling their spares, but it would take a little longer.
