IE cannot be allowed to use 22s on Belfast unless it is an emergency, they were puchased for ROI routes and they are all needed If they want give a Mark IV away. IE and the NTA wont like me if any attempt was made to have 22 scheduled for Belfast.

I think NIR could manage to keep a 3 coach set available and run either a 16.10 back or even 16.50 as is as I recall people saying the 17.10 service may well see a big jump in commuter traffic. It basically keeps most people happy as you get the early arrival for the few and peak capacity which is needed. Thr 3 coach could run 2 limited stopping services each way daily if they were really committed to freq increase.

If a line can take 90, 100 should be certified with minimal cost if any.
