Well I was out on the 11:47 Limerick Junction Waterford today

There where a number of Dublin Clonmel passengers and quite a few Tipperary Waterford. Roughly 15 got off at Waterford thats not really bad when you consider how slow it is. Potential possibly

We left on time, arrived on time all stops, all stops announced, train was clean, stations seemed in good order no doubt helped by the staff in the signal box. Despite the dodgy track the ride wasn't bad (had similar in Wales on a similar line) and engine under the floor was rarely noticed.

So the second least used line in the country can manage a respectable customer service but hasn't many passengers funny that eh?
