Default Reduction of First Class on ICR routes.

Dublin-Westport - no services
(1 services were scheduled to have it)

Dublin-Galway - 2 services daily
(3 services were scheduled to have it)

Dublin-Limerick - 2 services daily

Dublin-Waterford - 2 services daily

Dublin-Traless - 1 service daily

Is this to allow people to sit in Frist class as most of the time the carrage is empy or any other reason.

Don't know why anyone would pay for first class on an ICR, all you get is antimacassars on the seats and possibly a slightly lower risk of having skangers in your carriage.

There aren't enough first class sets available to cover, only 8 sets can be depended upon to be available

In the evening the following departures from Heuston are first class
16:25, 16:30, 17:05, 17:25, 17:45, 18:30, 18:35

Timetable is showing first class on 18:30 Dublin Westport and 07:15 Westport Dublin.

If the timetable is not showing first, it is available to everyone

18.30 to Westport should be first class but it can't be booked online anymore.

15.00 to Cork when not a Mark 4 is operated by first class ICR.

On the old website it showed first class but if you click it and try to book it said that it was unavailable on this service but that seems to of being fixed since the new website went live.
