Reservation only would be a disaster for longer distance commuters. I travel from Edgeworthstown and while I take the same morning train four days a week, I never know which evening train I will be taking. So like most people, I just turn up 10-15 minutes early for the train and I know I'll get a seat.
Apart from Fridays (and the 1805 to Longford), the Sligo line trains aren't really packed enough to need it.
Can you claim your reservation fee back if you don't get the seat you reserved. It strikes me as pretty poor if you pay for a seat and don't get it. In my mind that should be a complete refund - not just the reservation bit.
