18 experiences every Irish Rail passenger will relate to
1. Absolutely freaking out because you can’t locate your headphones and you’ve a three hour journey to Cork ahead of you
2. Feeling compelled to jog along with the people rushing to board the train, even though you’ve booked a seat
3. Preparing your spiel in case some brat has dared to sit in said seat
4. Witnessing someone regret doing a ‘gas’ seat name as they shuffle into their seat. Well how do you do, Mr Nahasapeemapetilon
5. Praying no one sits across from you. It’s unreasonable, but still
6. Putting your ticket in a ‘safe place’ for the journey, then having a flap when you can’t find it for the inspector
7. Mashing this bloody button. CONNECT ME
DailyEdge.ie DailyEdge.ie
8. Having to input your details for the WiFi every time you pick up your phone
9. Then discovering that it only works in Dublin and Athlone, and when there are less than 30 people on the train
10. Catching the person across from you staring you out of it, then making exceedingly awkward eye contact
11. A stag or hen party. With a rake of cans. In your goddamn carriage
12. Dreaming about what you’ll get from the trolley for a solid hour
13. They don’t have what you want on the trolley. They have oat biscuits and tonic water though… So yeah
14. Realising the person across from you is gradually encroaching on your legroom, leaving with you with approximately three inches of space for your feet
15. Walking up the aisle to the jacks and seeing every other passenger have a right gawk at you
16. Having a good sniff of that Eau de Train Jacks
17. Hearing someone roaring “WE’RE JUST GONE PAST CASTLEREA” down the phone at the poor unfortunate that has to come and collect them
18. Getting off and swearing that you’ll learn to drive this year. You will!
