Sean its go nothing to do with that, its a case of we need 2 29000 railcars and the only way to get that is to replace a pair of 29000's from somewhere, and I just don't think a rush hour Drogheda service will do

Bad news is the Mk2d set will degrade rapidly it will no longer get the TLC it got in Connolly where it made a guest appearance on a weekend. Its not structurally sound and spending 6 nights a week in the open in Sligo won't do it any favours
