Extremely poor ride quality

I was on the 19.00 Enterprise last night from Dublin, sitting at the front end of the second carriage, although I didn't manage to get the carriage number. The ride quality was by far the worst I have ever experienced, with a lot of vertical and lateral movement. There were a lot of nervous glances, and one passenger informed the train host, but unsurprisngly when he came down it had calmed down temporarily. While coming to the carriage in question, he had also continued a passenger count, rather than coming straight there...

Now I'm sure it's not something to worry about, but shouldn't the maintenance regime really be picking up issues like this?
