I thought IE ordered more railcars for Sligo & Rosslare or is it the fact that not all 22k trains are in service yet.

He also said that the 2009 timetable will not be until June/July.

Thats not on. All services to Rosslare must be converted to 22ks. That was always the plan.

I agree that was the plan but we the customers

dont actually know what was the plan.

I think everyone on the line will have their own opinions on the line by june or july if this does happen.

As I had posted many times, staff are only briefed on changes at short notice. This is just speculation

Not all trains south of Greystones will be 22k operated thats always been the position, 3 more 3 car 22k sets are awaited plus several 6 car sets

As it stands today there is no reason why the following services cannot be run

6:00 Gorey Dublin
16:30 Dublin Gorey

According to the Irish Rail staff timetable they should be 22k services

Yes, the Gorey trains will remain commuter railcars so that's probably why the train times you mentioned are still 28ks.

Beyond Gorey we all fully expect 22ks to be used with some 2x3 car formations for the busier time slots.

i reckon that if the formation i suggested would happen there wont be any 6-coach 22k formations on the rosslare line
