This morning Irish Rail is operating a three-coach Intercity rail car from Tralee to Dublin.
Anyone who knows nothing about railway traffic in Ireland would know that such a small capacity train is not adequate for the journey.
The train leaving Killarney is filled to capacity with people standing in the aisles. It has seven more stops before arriving at Dublin Heuston.
The seat reservation system is not working, so an element of chaos reigns.
Irish Rail admits to having over capacity at present. Yes, it is understandable that they are making every effort possible to reduce fuel costs but the idea of running a three coach train on a Sunday morning from Tralee to Dublin tells a great story about management skills at the State-run rail company.
