Irish Rail Reminds Passengers To Book Online After Reports Of Overcrowding In Midlands

A spokesperson says while crowded trains are uncomfortable, they're not unsafe.

Irish Rail says while crowded trains may be uncomfortable, they are not a safety hazard.

The rail service has been responding to reports of overcrowding on the Mullingar to Dublin service at 1 o'clock on Friday.

Spokesperson Jane Cregan says Mullingar's proximity to Dublin means it's considered a commuter route and says it's not unusual for people to stand for such a journey.

She's reminding people that booking your ticket online will guarantee you a seat, and customer service staff are on-board to help if you have difficulty accessing your seat.

If you book a seat and are not able to access it, you are entitled to a refund.

Ms. Cregan admits crowded trains are uncomfortable, but are not unsafe:
