Was reading about in the Indo also.
Having a look at the rail charter now and noticing this
"Users' rights for rail services include the receipt of information regarding the service both
before and during the journey.."
I would assume this includes information on the train destination and intermediate stops while on the train. The 07:18 train from Drogheda - Bray is ridiculous. 3 mins or so before each stop the driver announces the next stop. The volume is so low that if you're sleeping you miss your stop plus you've no idea of how many stops there is til pearse etc. Or how there is no electronic display in Drogheda, so if there's no one in the booth, you've no chance of knowing of any train delays.
Seems to be no provision that customers must be guaranteed a seat though
