No offense but you're kinda biased, you love those 29Ks I could easily say the same thing about the 071-Mk2d combo.
I like them - they do exactly what it says on the tin. The trouble is that it says "Commuter" on the tin in big letters. I'll be the first to agree they are not the right stock for InterCity services.

But one thing I didn't like was that on the 4 coach train there were people standing and sitting on bags in the "general carriage area" a.k.a. "the floor" Hadn't seen that in years.
I'm guessing a 4-car Intercity set would have loads of room for everyone to sit. But the 2900s are designed to pack in the maximum number of commuters, with an average of 48 seats per car instead of 70+.

Me too. But then, I'm going to Drogheda!
