As for them 2700's :@ (which i have a real hatred for) even if they couldn't be sold they should just give them away. Surely got to be 2 or 3 spare sets of 29000 as well they could use. I have never actually been on a 29000 commuter, are they uncomfortable and noisy like the 2700's?
We have them out here on the Sligo line (the 29000s I mean) and they are uncomfortable as **** with interior engine noise, awful suspension, "plastic fantastic" interior decor etc.

The 2800s are, in my view, the best trains from the Commuter pool in terms of on-board comfort. Though there is at least one poster on here who might disagree with this. That having been said, this isn't much comfort to someone faced with 2700s.
