Gareth O'Callaghan: The romance of rail travel dies somewhere between Limerick Junction and Platform 8
'There's something about the sound of a train that's very romantic, and nostalgic, and hopeful.' They're Paul Simon's words. I doubt he would have been feeling such wistful sentiments if he had been booked on the midday train out of Dublin to Cork last Sunday. I'm a frequent traveller on the route. I use the service twice weekly, often more. If you book your ticket and your seat online well in advance of your trip, you expect a hassle-free, two-and-a-half hour relaxing journey, when you can work on your laptop, put in your earbuds, or lay out your flask and tin foil-wrapped ham sandwiches. Or at least that's the impression the television commercials give. I've been travelling on this service for so long now it's as though I've developed an antenna that kicks in by way of an adrenalin rush, telling me — usually minutes before the train is due to depart — that "hassle-free" and "relaxing" won't apply today. That rush coursed through my veins last Sunday while I stood staring at the Mark 4 train sitting idle on Platform 7. With only minutes to departure time, over 400 passengers stared forlornly into space. There had been two announcements apologising for the late boarding of the train. But which train? My antenna was telling me there was a maintenance problem. And then it happened: The announcement I'd been dreading. The Cork train was now, instead, standing at Platform 8 — a much smaller train with reduced capacity because it was a carriage short, which happened to be the carriage I was booked on. In those moments, all hell breaks loose. People cast aside dignity and manners as fast as a cigarette butt — somewhat reminiscent of the scenes in Titanic where passengers trample over each other to get to a lifeboat. Boarding became a scrum The electronic reservation system was switched off. Within minutes, those who couldn't find seats were left standing in the aisles. Some passengers were ordering others out of seats, claiming they had pre-booked those seats. A Liberace lookalike with beige-coloured hair pointed to a Spanish tourist sitting opposite me. 'That's my seat!' he informed her in an almost operatic voice. I tried to explain that the reservation system didn't apply as this was a smaller train. He flashed me a stare that made my jaw drop. 'Was I talking to you? Do you work for the company?' he snapped, as if I was dirt on his shoe. He sat down opposite me. 'Don't talk to me, you're a weirdo.' Severe overcrowding I was speechless and offended in equal measures. I was also reminded of the words of the writer Stephen Jenkinson: 'Heartbreak is how you humanise your prejudices." Raised voices and arguments over seats became like white noise throughout the carriage. It was a sensory overload. Then an announcement: 'Please stand clear of the doors — doors are about to close." So that was it. Irish Rail was not going to resolve the issue. It was washing its hands of it. Off we chugged, like a nightmare that doesn't end, packed like sardines into a train carriage that wasn't even air-conditioned, without a thought given to safety. Severe overcrowding was permitted on that train last Sunday. It was clear from where I was sitting that no one could have moved in the event of an emergency Then, when you might be forgiven for thinking it couldn't get any worse, just as the train pulled into Limerick Junction, the seating reservation signs above the seats lit up with people's names. A woman shoved her phone in my face. 'There's my booking – that's my seat,' she told me, staccato-style, stabbing the phone with her finger. I explained as politely as my adrenaline would allow that I was one of the displaced from the carriage that didn't exist, so bookings were void. She continued shouting at me until I put my headphones back on and closed my eyes, praying my bladder might hold up until I arrived back in Cork. Out of the almost 70 train journeys I have made so far this year between Cork and Dublin, at least a third of them haven't been "hassle-free" or "relaxing". On my outbound journey to Dublin last weekend, all passengers were ordered off the train at Thurles because the doors were faulty. 'This train is defective,' the announcer told us, only to be told 10 minutes later that the doors were working again and we could re-board the train. I could list a litany of issues that stretches back years, but who cares? Not Irish Rail, it seems. What's even more pathetic is that we just keep putting up with it. 'Beneath the sleek design of the Mark 4, which runs exclusively on the Cork line, lies a jaded train. Most of its locomotives are 30 years old.' Picture: Larry Cummins Despite the intolerable conditions on board that train last weekend, no refunds were offered. That's not good business, but then Irish Rail don't have any competitors on the Irish railway network. Not only should refunds have been given but, as a gesture of goodwill, passengers should have been offered complimentary travel on their next journey. Cork to Dublin return is by no means cheap. Travel Friday and return Sunday, as I do, can set you back almost €70, or €65 one way if you buy your ticket on the day. Add an extra €20 each way to upgrade to first class, and for that you'll bag a Pullman-style seat and a free coffee. People pay in good faith to travel in comfort and safety. When you book your ticket and your seat, then to discover that not only is the booking non-existent but so too is your train carriage, then that's grossly unacceptable. As for the toilets? They deserve their own column Every weekend — no exception — the smell from the train's toilets is nauseating. On those mis-timed occasions when nature calls, I've had to tiptoe around the cubicle to avoid the trails of urine on the floor. It's hit and miss. There might be a breakdown, there might not. You might get a friendly host who'll chat with the regular passengers and tourists, or you mightn't see one for the entire journey. Mostly, the staff are sound. I count myself lucky that the Cork service is hourly and runs on a twin-track system. When I lived in Galway, it was a single line all the way from Portarlington — which meant repeatedly pulling into sidelines to allow trains coming in the opposite direction to pass. Beneath the sleek design of the Mark 4, which runs exclusively on the Cork line, lies a jaded train. Most of its locomotives are 30 years old. The DVTs, situated at the other end of the train which house the driver's cab, are almost 20 years old. They're prone to maintenance problems, which is not good for the nerves if you have a medical appointment or a flight to catch at the far end. Complaints to Irish Rail were running at an average 1,300 per month, according to 2023 figures, over 40 per day. My idea of hell is being crammed into that tiny space outside a toilet that is in constant use — like those who found themselves stuck there last Sunday. One couple who had to endure most of the journey standing outside that toilet told me they had purchased first-class tickets on the original train as a special treat for their wedding anniversary. Some treat that turned out to be. There's no better way to witness the beauty of our countryside in all its splendour than from the train. It's such a shame that the journey is as unpredictable as the weather.

Jeremy Clarkson reveals ‘steep learning curve' after ‘enormous' disruption caused by TB outbreak at Diddly Squat
JEREMY Clarkson has revealed the "steep learning curve" he faced after a TB outbreak at Diddly Squat caused "enormous" disruption. The TV star , 65, has been left "absolutely devastated" by the news, which is the latest blow for the hard-hit team on the farm. 2 Jeremy Clarkson has revealed the 'steep learning curve' he is facing due to a TB outbreak Credit: PA 2 The farm owner shared the news in an initial message on social media Credit: Collect Jeremy explained how However, the ex-Top Gear host added that a calf had also become unwell following the outbreak. Now, Jeremy has spoken out about the "enormous" extent of the disruption faced on his farm. Read More in Showbiz He told Jeremy told the outlet: "The disruption's enormous, because you aren't allowed to operate as a business. "You have to isolate them for two months. So all the barns we needed to store the grain in, we now have to convert into a cow hospital. "We've got another calf with pneumonia, so that needs to be housed. Most read in Showbiz "And we can't buy or sell a cow now because the farm officially, you know, has TB.' But in some good news for fans, he said the farm shop would remain open and unaffected. Clarkson said reports that his farm was shut were 'ridiculous'. Jeremy Clarkson 'absolutely devastated' after latest blow to Diddly Squat farm 'We're trying to carry on with the harvest and everything, but TB focuses the mind,' he said. It comes after the Sun columnist revealed in another blow that his puppy died hours after he was handed the heartbreaking news about his farm. The devastated farmer told how He is also trying to care for a "very sickly calf". The Top Gear icon revealed he is not enjoying his new profession this week. And on Sunday, Jeremy revealed his red Labrador Arya had given birth to 11 puppies. He and his wife Lisa Hogan acted as midwives for the adorable pups while the Meanwhile, on the latest series of his Amazon Prime show, Jeremy revealed how endless rain had sparked chaos on the farm last year. The Diddly Squat Farm Shop's Instagram page wrote: "It's going to be a rough year. All that seed sowed, drowned with the constant rain." What is bovine TB? Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of cattle and badgers. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) which can also infect and cause disease in many other mammals including humans, deer, goats, pigs, cats, dogs and badgers. In cattle, it is mainly a respiratory disease. What are the symptoms? It is hard to spot bovine TB as the signs are similar to other diseases and normally only develop in the advanced stages. It is normally picked up in cattle testing before clinical signs develop or during inspections of slaughtered cattle. Animals can get thinner, have a light fever that keeps coming back, appear weak and have a reduced appetite. Some will also have swollen lymph nodes, in the neck and a moist cough which is worse in the morning and during cold weather or exercise. The government states it may cause chronic mastitis, an infection of the udder. How is transferred between animals? Evidence of bovine TB is most commonly found in the lymph glands of throat and lungs of affected animals. They spread the disease mainly through coughing and sneezing. Bacteria are released into the air and inhaled by other animals in close contact. The disease can pass from badgers to cattle via close contact - and vice versa. Contaminated equipment, animal waste, feed and pasture can also transfer the infection. Can humans catch it from cattle? Humans can catch bovine TB through: unpasteurised milk or dairy products from an infected cow, buffalo, goat or sheep inhaling bacteria breathed out by infected animals inhaling bacteria released from the carcasses of infected animals or from their excretions (such as faeces) Infection is more likely if an unprotected wound is exposed to bacteria from an infected animal. But the government insists the risk of infection is very low for the vast majority of the population. Symptoms are similar to human TB, including weight loss, fever, night sweats and a persistent cough. Anyone who develops these symptoms should consult a doctor. The disease can be treated by a complex combination of drugs over a long period. And Clarkson's right-hand man The farmer turned TV hero, 27, told fans his pricey post knocker, used for hammering in fences, had been stolen on Tuesday. Another firm's £70k John Deere tractor was also taken, with a burnt-out SUV car found down the road. Meanwhile, earlier this month Jeremy slammed the "fun police" after Keen to spread the word about Diddly Squat Farm's Hawkstone lager, The Sun columnist hired a 34-strong choir of real British farmers to sing their own version of a classic opera tune. Hilariously, the farmers switched up the words to sing: "F*** me it's good".
