RUI actually was consulted by the parent company behind this two years ago. All very hush hush. We did tell them to grab a push push control car to save a lot of trouble doesn't look like they did

From the information I have to hand from as recently as yesterday at least the following stations are involved.

Dublin
Belfast
Cork
Midleton
Limerick
Galway

This is operating on a charter basis, Irish Rail provide the locomotive and driver. Train will be 100mph capable so will not be an issue to schedule into current timetables. Mk3 has go anywhere rights so there is no destination it cannot reach. There was a Dublin Midleton charter last week which went mostly unnoticed

Train will overnight parked up at a station en route, so place like Athlone, Charleville, Ballybrophy
