2600s also operate Cork-Cobh/Midleton/Mallow
I think 2 x 2-car sets for Midleton, 1 x 2-car set + 1 x 4-car set for Cobh to operate peak schedule. I'm not sure how it works for Mallow. There seems to be only one morning service and 2 evening services that aren't operated by either Cork-Dublin or Cork-Tralee InterCity sets.
That means you need about 6 2600 sets readily available for Cork-based services. Add in a couple of sets undergoing overhaul, repairs etc accounts pretty well for the 2600 fleet. That leaves 10 2-car 2800 sets for Limerick-based services, which seems a bit generous, when you add in one or two ICR sets covering those services as well.
