Didn't think the Sligo line was like Limerick-Limerick Junction with these silly DMU's. I don't see why they aren't putting 22k sets on this line, yet they have 22k's on the Limerick-Galway line which struggles to sell seats. Like Sligo this line needs 22k's or refurb Mark 3's whatever. Those commuter trains are always dangerously overcrowded, they are not exactly built for intercity duties and should be removed from service.
Thinking about mark 3's wasn't that coach in the photo below out of one of the push/pull sets? Seems they are just letting them rot now and giving them away.
