The problem in Templemore is that the commuter trains where pulled by IE in the draft 2007 timetable
The off peak service was Ok
The Dublin bound platform in Templemore is actually longer than Portarlington, I haven't measured up a Mk4 there but its only the last coach, coming from Dublin its more like coaches A, B, C & D. Commitment on platform extension has been given
If IE play hard ball the RSC get dragged in, the legal status of a over length train is confused but the intercity railcars is different since if you are in the rear 3 coaches of a 9 car or a pair of 3 cars you can't get out on a Mk4 you can walk through
I will admit I've never used Templemore station despite it being 2 miles closer to where I'm going, I go through Thurles though I have been in the station once or twice
