I hear there's an iceberg off the coast. Wouldn't surprise me if it decided to whip down the North Sea and take out Malahide Viaduct because that's the year IE are having. In theory adverse conditions on the roads should mean bumper traffic for IE but instead the infrastructure and fleet teams have no plan or if they do no resources to implement it. I wonder how IE was doing in 1982 the last time the country really ground to a halt.

It seems to me that the IE withdrawal from service projections included having 2 more 6 x 22k but when they had to be binned IE never bothered rewriting their withdrawal from service schedule - if they had, surely 2 x 6 x Mk3PP would still be available for, for instance, Waterford or Carlow commuter. No doubt the PPs are being "stored" in a similar vein to hauled car 7156 - open to the elements.
