This further strenghtens the information posted in the members area of what is truely going on, on the Belfast line. Potentially you could be seeing new trains on the Belfast line within the next 2 years at most. But this article relates to 125mph running
NIR currently tendering for stock and they are specifying for cross border. IE and NIR previously failed to agree to the lease of a fleet of 8 coach 125mph diesel railcars from the UK which where lying idle. NIR can't lease trains and had no cash so the project died.
Not going to do much to solve the current day to day situation which can only get worse with time
