They have reduced the amount of carraiges on this train from 6 to 4. So before you have little cheap jibes about my knowledge, maybe you should go figure out how they cannot manage to keep up the level of 'service' that they used to provide.

Guessing you work for IE Laois Commuter, you are starting to sound like Mr Fearn, CEO of IE, trying to defend himself in the Metro.
The 22000 trains will be on the rosslare line by january- only 3 months to go! No more maynooth - rosslare crap. A nice 6 car evening service from dublin CONNOLLY to Rosslare Europort to look forward to

All Dublin Gorey services will remain commuter trains. An entire 8 coach railcar is being relocated to Cork as part of the WRC shakeup so the net gain is very little really in the face of the continuous growth.

No one south of Greystones should have to stand, its just not on really, once in a blue moon fine, but we are now on the second week of this rubbish

I don't mind commuter trains dublin gorey so much. At least we'll have proper intercity trains for the full distance very soon.

Will you be on the radio anytime soon voicing your displeasure with IE?

Every chance possible.

Wicklow annual tickets going up 15% in the last 11 months, not on really

That'd be just fantastic! Now, onto my next gripe. I want table service and an a la carte menu in the evenings! (With a vegetarian option every day.)
