I really have found it interesting reading the drivers establishment lists as someone who use to write and allocate duties for drivers at my own depot during special working periods. What does have me rather confused, (not hard I know!) is Mullingar with one driver, do they do the same duty...
I travelled out on the 20th January, getting the 08:16 to Amsterdam, (I was only going to Brussels) and I had a terrible time getting through taking nearly an hour. Staff were having to shout out if anyone was requiring the 07:31 train that were still stuck in the queues, there was a so-called...
