Default Satisfaction with the route ?

Of course, if you phrase your questions correctly you will get the answers you want . . .

"Are you satisfied with the route taken by the Enterprise between Dublin & Belfast ?"

Of course 9 out of 10 people are going to say yes. The 10th probably wanted it routed via Sligo, Bundoran, Derry & on to Belfast, but as the man says . . . . there's always one. Yes, I know the track isn't there, but that isn't going to stop yer man from wanting it.

Or they could have asked "Would you prefer if the Enterprise went from Dublin-Ballina, or are you satisfied with it going between Dublin & Belfast ?"

Asking this to passengers on a train somewhere between Dublin & Belfast is likely to result in at least a 90% satisfaction with the current routing. Asking this to people on the Ballina train might yield a different result.

God, you've gotta love surveys like this.
