Passengers angry at being late for work and exams

PASSENGERS at Cork’s main railway station yesterday were unhappy over the wildcat strike action that left them stranded and facing lengthy journeys by road.

Despite a warning from Iarnród Éireann on Friday, commuters arriving for yesterday’s 5.30am and 7am services had no inkling unofficial industrial action was on the way.

Few cared about the rights and the wrongs of the dispute between Iarnród Éireann and the drivers; the passengers just wanted to get to their destinations.
