Do people take the train just because it's faster than driving/the bus?

On intercity journeys I would take the bus as I find it more reliable and much,much cheaper. The Bus Eireann online system is also brilliant.10% discount, you can pay with laser and no bother to print.
On Sunday 30th December 2007 I took the bus from Belfast to Dublin at 7 in the evening.Two hours and fifteen minutes with one stop in Dublin Airport.
If new trains are ordered for the Dublin Belfast route then they should order more 22000 provided they can go at the required speed. It will save money on maintenance and spare parts.
(They should have done the same for the Dublin Cork route.)
