They should get the DART then! For those of us commuting beyond Greystones the comfort on the 22000s is far superior.

Had a pleasant surprise this morning when a shiny 22 pulled up at 5:58am into Wexford station.

Does anybody know if this is the permanent upgrade that has been promised or an aberration :-).

Thanks,

That's good news. Keep the pressure on! 22ks for every Wexford service is the goal that must be met.

There has been an improvement in allocation in recent weeks

Plus seat reservation system now seems able to survive Rosslare Dublin
