I'm not surprised the 0545 carries only 333 since I get it most mornings and it's nice and comfy - a good way to start your day. There was a stretch over the summer when they swapped the 7 car set onto the 0700 and that made a lot of sense when the later train would be getting a lot of day trips.
For that couple of weeks, the 0545 was operating at a reasonable load but somebody complained and we went back to the normal summer ghost train setup.
Although the 0545 serves Maynooth, it's a little late for anybody heading south of Pearse really as it terminates at Connolly so it's no good for a 9 AM start.
