 @214fcd33 Lest you got too rosy a view of Irish Rail's bike carrying capacity - this is what I am faced with for my trip to Longford this morning.

 @5342f2ee @214fcd33 Yeah, coming back from Galway to Dublin, I had to wrestle my laden touring bike into a rack like that. It wasn't fun!

 @5342f2ee A nice driver on that line put the bike into the rack for me a couple of weeks ago. They’re a pain. Built for people with bikes that weigh 10kg. Not tourers. But the worst thing is the amount of space they take up and only fitting two bikes! Two extra people wanted to get on the train with bikes that day and there was no space for them.
