Word is leaking out about these heaps of junk. Cullen is wrong. IE don't want to tell him the truth. Latest word I received today suggests that Cork hourly services will not be introduced in January as planned and are postponed indefinetly, due to ongoing problems with the new trains. The defered timetable may be very different to the one expected.
There's also a rumour that IE are suing CAF of Spain (The builders of the new trains) and that CAF are suing IE for non payment of the bill. If any of this turns out to be fact and its extremely likely, then I foresee a lot of egg on a lot of faces. Mid january is the time to watch closely.
