over here joined trains are timetabled and ticketed separately. If you're booked to an intermediate station you must join the train that you are ticketed on (e.g. train 40 or train 52 which run as together until they split towards Ottawa and Montreal).

As for IE's complete information fail - who's responsible for regulating them on this stuff - DofT? RSC? I suspect neither wants anything to do with it?

No one

Working it as two separate trains in the booking system would work fine but the train itself doesn't understand as it can only have a single id at a time and that id is what the reservation system on the train looks for

Still a complete farce this morning for the 7:30 departure from Heuston. Train arrived at platform 7 (normally we are on 4) at about 7:31 from Portlaoise. All the passengers were there at the same time, and there was only one consciencious Irish Rail employee trying to direct people. Lots of people with Galway bookings in carriage A got on to the first carriage. No PIS info until we got going. No carriage numbers displayed.
