There really should be no more 29ks on the Wexford line.

We have 3 and 4 car 22ks. No more excuses Irish Rail.
Treat the passengers on this line with a bit of respect for once.

I couldn't agree with you more. This line is the only line on the Irish Rail network that is disgraceful. This line could have its full potential yet Irish Rail has never seen it. Every time I see the service ex Dublin coming into Gorey around 15.30 it's always a 29k commuter train. I'm confident Irish rail have enough 22k intercity railcars for the line. I'd like to see more services on this line with reduced fares. No offends I refuse to pay Irish Rail €29.70 I think it was for a Gorey Connolly monthly return when I'm retricted to the services Irish Rail offer VS. Wexford Bus

reduced fares
9.99 fares are available, going much lower and how can costs be covered?

There are reasons for the demand being lower than it ought to be such as issues with connections between rail and ferry over the years (people have given up/used other means), local inavailability of through tickets and paucity of promotion/information.

At least one of the ferry companies hadn't even been informed of the deferred evening train last summer.

In fairness to IE an evening train was introduced in 2011 connecting with the night sailings along with generic marketing posters at stations.
Taking a guess Irish Ferries? If so why would they be informed when they no longer offer sea/rail from Pembroke Dock?

Not being short but don't really want to be naming companies in this context.

Is the reconfiguration of the 22000 Class ICRs complete yet?

What difference does it make?

It would hardly be one of the secrets of Fatima.

What a bizarre post to make.

The 22000 Class ICR info seems to have been updated.

That would be an ecumenical matter!
In fairness it's not bizarre in my view as other posters have made references to various matters in posts here over the years without giving full details.

Well given that there are only two ferry companies to/from the UK, and it's fairly obvious that Stena were aware of it, then it can only be Irish Ferries.

Hence your reticence to name them in your post is just daft.

As jamie2k9 says, whether Irish Ferries were aware or not is irrelevant as they don't offer sail/rail options.
