  9. Until the full withdraw of loco hauled services some platforms were too short to accommodate a full length main line train, as a result some carriages used to be off the rear of the platform. This short platform, long train scenario could be used to make the train seem longer. Also not all mainline trains were very long, long gone are the days of 13 coach Friday only specials, I have traveled from Limerick to Dublin on various setups 4 Push pull and loco (As far as I remember they were limited to a set of 6 anyway) 3 Mk 2s and a van Short 6 piece Mk 3 sets 2 piece 2700 relief service 5 Piece Mk2 sets

  19. As I understand it the problem arises when there is a PayPal dispute, where the sender now has no proof that the intended recipient has received, only proof it got to parcel motel leaving sellers open to fraud.
