    I am just curious if the 8.12am train from Balbriggan to bray is packed in the mornings, i.e. would I be likely to get a seat on it?

    I have been getting the 7.33am train but I'm always mad early for college..

    It's been a while since I've taken this train but getting a seat was usually impossible. I can only imagine that since there are now more people living in the town and commuting to work in the city centre, getting a seat is even less likely.

    The 8:12 is usually the easiest morning train to get a seat on,still packed though.

    I find it is the only train I can ever get a seat on.
    Gets me to work far too late.
    Seat vs Job - Job wins out lol

    I get the 8:12 and usually get a seat, it's the best one in the mornings unless you're willing to get the 7:00 one. You just need to find a good spot to stand on the platform. Dammit I need that 45mins sleep on the train!

    last time I used the trains to work I half expected to see a load of people board the roof and a few chickens running around - it was like something out of Ghandi! not a seat to be had and that smelly woman (I'm sure plenty of you know who I mean!!!) ALWAYS managed to stand near me - no matter where I boarded or how hard I tried to avoid her! lol
