NEW TRAINS!

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?

As an aside, didn't an Irish Rail official tell Wexford Co Co there would be an early service from Wexford Town, replacing the early bird Gorey?

I'm trying to find link to Wexford people article-here is extract

Vastly improved rail service for Wexford

Irish Rail chiefs have given a commitment to vastly improve Wexford's train service with brand new rolling stock, and five daily return journeys to Dublin by the end of 2008.
Michael Power, the service planning manager for Irish Rail, outlined the plans for the Wexford-Dublin line at a meeting of Wexford Borough Council on Monday.
An early bird' train, which could hook up with the existing 6 a.m. commuter train from Gorey was also touted as a possibility by the Iarnrod Eireann executive - but, would only be at the expense of the existing 8 a.m. service.
The company are also looking to have a day return connection between Wexford and Waterford in operation by May of next year.

R.E Janda,
Yes i read that info from the last I.E webcam which i cannot find the address for. It would be brillant if Iarnrod Eireann introduced a 06:00 Rosslare-Dublin and the journey would take 2hr30min Even a 05:30 to Dublin if the other routes of Ireland can have a service in the early hours(05:30) then why not Wexford. Would you agree if I.E had all of its services Wexford instead of Gorey the line would improve with more passengers. Waterford-Wexford would be fanastic.
Saying this i dont think the services are going to improve until 2008. Did you get a chance to see the new intercity 22000 train on Thrusday. Its looks really nice.

Electric route maps: I believe so.

Tilting: No chance! (At least not intentional tilting into corners. Hopefully they won't have "swaying" like the 29Ks either.)

Thanks James. I hope so to....

No electronic maps, they don't work on the Cork train so its not much of a loss

Thomas Ralph · 04-10-2007, 21:27

They work on a minority of Cork trains. I don't know whether they use wheel-counters, GPS, or some other technology.

Mark Gleeson · 04-10-2007, 23:47

Well it uses GPS, we have a screen shot with the GPS data on screen pumped it into google maps and yes the train thought it was where it was, problem is the display said the train was in Kildare when in fact the GPS had it in Portlaoise
