I think they look great. Open carriages from one end to the other, nice and airy, huge windows. Just generally modern. Great to see infrastructure improvements for Ireland!
All I wanted was the green upholstery gone.
I think it’s fantastic! Really quietens the naysayers as well, we can finally point to physical infrastructure and say ‘Things are happening, just look!’. Now onto quad-tracking up to Connolly and Heuston, getting the signalling fixed up and infill stations ready, and get it down to Cork at least.
I honestly don’t care how they look. Just please please please make them run ON TIME
Coming to a station near you in 2199
And it still doesn’t go to the airport.
When I heard they were developing new DARt I thought they’d be double decker…naive me 🥲
These look great though! Nice to see some improvement.
We won’t see them in action until 2026 unfortunately.
I wish they kept the green dart seat covers though
No jacks. If they extend Pearse to Drogheda it’s not a short trip. And then there is using the train for nights out.
How far beyond are we talking here lads? Yous can’t be calling it a DART if it’s too far
Must be exciting for the lads and lassies driving them to be looking forward to shiny new trains.
Hopefully they’ll have security on every train. Otherwise, open end to end carriages will just mean there’ll be no escaping the scrotes and smackheads when they got on.
Babe wake up new DART trains just dropped!
These are beautiful!
Nice shiny piece of equipment! But “three hundred millimetres”?! If we only had a better suited unit in SI.
Nice… so we will have nice trains to be waiting for in a cold platform 50min after the time schedule.
Look like any other modern commuter train you’d see in Europe. About time they have invested in new stock
They look nice although from the video I’d be concerned about the lack of standing room (hard to be sure). There is already not enough of that at peak times.
Rail will be basically redundant in 5-7 years due to automation of the taxi / bus network.
