There "could" have a set available to work this service, no excuses. It's just something needs to be done to make it happen. I fully appreciate that the reduction in 4 piece sets than planned may be a factor however it would be easily overcome. 3 coach would be good for the 18.05 but then there is the morning service. It will probably take a complete new timetable until it will be really sorted out but can IE afford to wait months for this and keep some customers in the process?

A new timetable is what I've said would be required all along - that is the only way that this can be addressed properly, because you would have to address the maintenance schedule and try to balance out the sets and workings.
