First experience of the Mark 4

The internal doors not being present is ridiculous. I don't understand why Iarnrod Eireann isn't maintaining them properly. If there's something wrong with them they ought to be fixed, not just locked open. It causes major problems for the air conditioning and allows smells from the toilet to enter the main seating area of the coach.

Also, I wonder if there's any fire safety issue with leaving them open. I wouldn't think they're optional in the design.

Irish Rail have a LONG history of stuck internal doors with the older MK3 coaches where they were almost always locked open.
