Today I took the DART from the city centre out to Killiney. The car I was in (8603) had no DART/Commuter maps, and it's not one of the latest batch with lights indicating the current postion. THe space over the all four doors was just empty.
I don't travel that far south very often, and while I know the line fairly well, I found myself wondering "is it three or four stops to my station?"
However a tourist, or anyone else who's not a regular user, would have been baffled, and would have been in danger of missing their stop, or at least having to dash for the doors when they realised they were there.
It's not very hard to make sure every coach has at least two (and preferably four) maps. I know an absurd number of them were nicked from the DART for the 2900s.
We're long overdue an updated may, reflecting a significant number of changes that have occurred in the city. There's no way we can wait for the Interconnecor, and there will probably be other changes which will require further reprintings in the next few years.
Considering we've noticed a marked improvement in the PIS systems on DART and Commuter trains since we've been reporting failures there, how about reporting instances of missing maps. I think every pair of doors should have at least one map, so any carriage which doesn't have at least two is worth reporting.
