NEW TRAINS!

The new trains went down to Rosslare today on a test run.

I saw a 22000 three-car set going northbound at Pearse yesterday evening marked out of service.

I don't think there's anything stopping IÉ running six-car 22000 sets down to Rosslare. If the platforms are too short, they'll just do the "please move forward to arrive safely on the platform" trick.

Thats not allowed for any new train entering service as of this year, older trains are exempt

The new trains may however have selective door opening we don't know

They look nice, espically when your standing across at Tesco(Gorey) and there's a 3car train across the way. I should have drove to the station and stopped the train just to take a picture (ha ha) Oh and ask him can i see inside for myself

Hi
It is true that there will be a 16:00 Dublin-Gorey and returns from Gorey-Dublin at 18:00 can anybody confirm this.

Its 16:40 Connolly Gorey does not stop Bray then all stations to Gorey

That is in the timetable but not yet running as there are no trains to run it

No return service

Do the New InterCitys have electronic route maps and have tilting for such a long carriage?
