Daily seat Lottery - Connolly to Mullingar not 17.05 but 18:05

[Mark Gleeson]

18:05 is a commuter service, thus standing is to be expected. The train is designed to accommodate up to 1240 people. It is a dedicated commuter service for those travelling to Maynooth and beyond with the 18:08 service for all others.

This train should be 8 coaches long at this stage, if the train is not there is the problem the rolling stock shortage will resolve itself in the next 2 weeks

If you want a seat 17:05 or 19:05 are fairly reasonable. I'm more than happy to make a trip out on the 18:05 to evaluate the situation. Only advice is to arrive in good time and to board at the far end of the train not at the Dublin end
