Using Commuter railcars on the Sligo & Rosslare lines is an absolute joke.
Sure the six piece 2800 sets currently on the Rosslare line hold fewer passengers than the "old" MkII sets did !!!! They're far less comfortable, have feck-all luggage space and are quite simply not designed for or intended for long distance Intercity services. At the very least fares to Sligo & Rosslare should be reduced in line with the reduction in quality of service provided.
One can only hope that when the first of the new Rotem Intercity Railcars arrive IE might deploy the freed-up MkII & MkIII sets back on the Sligo or Rosslare routes.
I'm not holding my breath though......
