News just in services between Dublin and Cork may be subject to mass cancellations today and in the future

A number of Mk4 trains have been removed from service due to serious safety concerns. The information we have received somewhat links to other information we posses and also matches with recent info from the RSC. There is a problem with the wheelsets.

Mark just on this issue do IE still have the CAF Spanish contract on the new mk4 trains if something was to go wrong?

They should have, however this might be Irish Rail's fault

Mark G - any update on this? Are any Mark 3 sets available to compensate or are they already committed?

The Mark 3s are scheduled to be scrapped, which is a horrendous idea because they're more or less the best available carriages.
