Reserved Seating

[Oisin88]

And they still haven't got it right on the Cork Dublin.

We had C35 and C36 booked on the Cork-Dublin 18:30 this evening. No names up in lights over the seats.

Got on the train at about 5 past and there was people sitting in the seats. Mentioned it to them, but then just sat on the seats across the aisle, to avoid hassle.

Then the train got busy. Girl got on. walked past our seats. then asked if the seats opposite us were free. sat down. Lots of crashing of bags etc. Turned out later we were on their seats.

The train got fairly full when the Kerry crowd got on at Mallow. Huge kerryman with suit and laptop got on. Asked girl that was sitting in our seats (taking up 2) was the inner seat free. Lots more bag crashing and grumpy faces.

At the end of the day, everyone got seats but really if Irish Rail had been doing their job properly there would have been less grumpy customers.
