We got a call last night stating a strong possibilty of a CDE set entering service on Monday. If it appears we will know. To be honest we where expecting a full media circus to milk the moment but CIE and IE have always been low key, the first passenger DART service left Pearse on July 23rd 1984 just before 7am with no cermony just like 150 years before no big deal. Big bang introductions tend to leave egg on face.
There may be 4 sets here but only 1 is ready to roll as the others still have to complete mileage accumulation. Normal game plan is to introduce a single set and see how things go passengers are great for breaking things as they stress test things like doors and toliets.
