Derek any suggested odds?

Im giving evens on end of May. A full 6 months after expected entry. And then it will only be in service trials. IE continue to deny, but the evidence is there in the public domain. Im compiling all similar situations at the moment. (Ive already mentioned DART to Greystones in another post. Add to that the attempt to get more cash for driving longer DARTs.)

Disaster.

The "pay-off" offered to guards was only equal to 3 years wages. As many of them are no-where near retirement age, they've decided to stay. Problem.

Some are accepting. But its a mess.

All new developments on the IE network will have to be cleared by unions. Ive used the word disaster before and I'll use it again.

Disaster.
