22002 in Belfast

Apparently 22002 is doing clearance trials to Belfast today. Will this see regular 22000 operation to Belfast or just as replacement for Enterprise failures?

We have raised the question of why after spending all the money on getting the first 6 units fitted with UK safety gear why they are not yet authorised for NI.

As is so typical of Irish Rail, just as they start the process, they have finally resolved the achilles heal of the Enterprise by tacking a generator van on the train.

2204 had a visit up North on Sunday, it was converted to 4 coaches, what way does TPWS work out with one coach without it and the others with it or is it just the driving ends that require it?

Just needs to be in the driving ends.
