Speed on the Intercity lines needs to be increased as well
These were probably ordered around 2015 meaning our population increase will make us still short of capacity.
Hopefully that would improve the capacity on the Galway to Dublin line.
You’d think Ireland could build a rail carriage at least. I accept building locos are totally beyond our national capacity
Hopefully they start increasing frequency on the lines with this, even between the major city services are very infrequent compared to other countries.
the most important question – do they feature seizure inducing tie-die/hydro-dipped upholstery?
Cost of living crisis and this is what they waste money on
Hope that the seats are too small and that there’s not enough legroom !
I recently got a Korean washing machine, it sings for a good 25 seconds when a load is done. I also recently bought a Korean car that also sings a variety of tunes for some god unknown reason.
I wonder if these ones will give us an ould tune
As far as I know they’re mostly for commuter services. Planned to take the stress of the busy commuter routes pre-covid.
Can I have the bubble wrap?
Impressive, very nice!
41 carriages is what…a few trains only?
Pretty cool that they can be loaded straight onto the tracks. Didn’t realise the Port still had active tracks, always thought that level crossing near the Point was abandoned.
I was astounded how cheap it was to do Dublin-Galway on the train when I was home last, something like 16 euro – about the same as a 10 minute Uber runs me in the US!
Germany brought in a 9 euro ticket last year and apparently it’s been a huge success in lowering Co2 as people will use the train more instead of the car, shame we can’t think like this, make trains 9 euro everywhere, you’ll lower car use over night.

I presume they’re the correct gauge?
Hope they actually fit this time
