If you have a seat booked, it's yours- your name actually appears on a LED display above the seat and you can turf anyone else out of it (they have announcements on boarding about not taking reserved seats.) I'd be more worried about the bike, I know the guard's vans well and you might get more than six bikes in but it does not surprise me they have a limit of six, at the end of the day they are not huge without limit. Hint- bring cable ties and maybe you can persuade someone to let you tie your bike to the hooks, you can get an extra two bikes in that way, each side:

The Killarney train isn't a Mk4, it's only a Mk3, hence no LED displays over the seat for reserved seats. On the Killarney train it's up to the train conductor to place the signs on the reserved seats and I get the impression that this isn't always done.

Ah OK- I'm still sure you'd have no problem turfing someone out if you could show them your reservation with the seat number on it.

Murphys on College Street do good food and the Guinness is good.
Enjoy the day and hope the weather isn't too bad.

Did it last year for the 1st time since 91 and really enjoyed it, have ongoing problems with my knee so I'm not doing it this year.

@tiny - thanks!

My seat numbers are above, if you get there first, find em and sit in them -I craftily chose seats opposite each other to make it less likely to have someone book the other two, so you should be fine in any of those four (if you get what I mean)

Guys - I will be along in the morning (weather permitting)

I will be in an 'Skoda Team Italia' jersey and 3/4 lenghts on a Specialized Allez - with my buddy on his Trek - both going very slowly.

Say hello if you spot me ( giz a push! )
Hope to see you there.

Say hello to us at the start. I'm sure the boards jerseys will be easy to spot.

Quite manky down here all afternoon in Killarney - driving drizzle from the east at the moment - though the Met Eireann image for Saturday looks okay and description (Rain clearing to showers and bright intervals.) is promising.
