What we want is a boringly reliable railway which just works, thats completely against the I photo something different mantra

To be fair to Irish Rail they run a decent fleet, the 29K is putting in 50,000 miles per failure thats not far off the DART and easily 3 to 5 times the best the UK can manage even with kit with the same engines, the 29K is possibly the most reliable DMU in the world.
