On Irish Trains

At NUIG, nearly all of the students from Ireland go home for the weekend. They leave sometime during Friday, and return late Sunday, and tend to spend the weekend working back home. Most don't have jobs in Galway, just back home. Our flight back from Zürich went into Dublin, and we ended up taking the 18.45 train back to Galway - which turned out to be the train all of the other students from along that route were taking. We didn't know anyone, but it was fun to watch all of the other students that did know each other. It was a lot busier than Friday morning though, so the food cart wasn't able to come through (thankfully - I hate when it does). We were riding all the way from Dublin, so we were able to grab our own compartment (well, table, really, as they're all together, but I'm not sure what else to call them) which was nice. The one thing I didn't like about the train? It was a good 35C and I felt like the heat was going to kill me. None of the windows opened.
