That is great. Going back to wheelchair users, they have to pre-book their journeys, but when they go to do so, in Mayo in particular - wheelchair users and advocates have made this point to me - they are told it is booked out. However, when they arrive at the station there are no wheelchair users using the service so they are able to use the train to commute to wherever they need to go. It is a big problem. There is an issue with the system and a lack of service to get these individuals on. Why is that a problem and can it be improved?
