Iarnrod Eireann's Plans to Save Ailing Lines

Yes there's a point, especially dangerous when you consider the crossing at Limerick Junction. Where small tram/trains are at risk of being sideswiped at 100MPH, in a worst-case scenario kind of incident.

Also, yes it will be of disruption to pretty much everyone else.

But, the Pacers are to go in favour of older, slower rolling stock in Britain, so any company would be very desperate indeed to get 80's rolling stock being replaced by 70's rolling stock.

Also, the regauging of Paces would much harder than doing it Sprinters for example, because of the affixed wheelsets on the pacers.
