Interesting. I was on the 07:10 Dublin-Galway/Mayo. Coaches A&B were freezing in both on Monday and Wednesday morning. Coach B was 22407 on Wednesday, didn't get the number on Monday.

The 7:10 splits in Athlone. One Monday the ticket checker was helpful, telling people to move into the Galway end of the train for heat, or to coach C which had some heat. There was also some talk of using a spare set from Athlone, as some sort of generator/engine was not working.

Approach on Wednesday was move everyone into B, where there were more passengers so the carriage was slightly less cold.

Heating was working this morning, but sounds like there are 1 or more set of 3 carriage 22000s floating around the Galway line with no heating in this weather. Birrrr
