This is 2007 and not 1907.
It is crazy to think - as you suggest Mark - that in this year 2007 a train was sent from Dublin to Sligo with a generator not working properly for lights and heat. (Are there not two generators per 'guards' van?).
IE have surely had enough time testing the 22000 class trains.
'How long is a piece of string'?
The people of Sligo should kick up a 'stink' and insist IE deliver as they promised several months ago i.e. put into service the 22000 type trains.
IE went so far as to advertise the putting into service of the trains during the Autumn of 2007.
Only 17 days to go to keep the promise.
I wonder if there's an agenda within IE - by this I mean is there a union/staff/IE problem introducing the trains; I would not be surprised is there is a problem?
Hope I'm wrong - but!!!
Meanwhile, people of Sligo get on your proverbial 'high horses' and get on to IE to keep their promise by introducing the new 22000 class trains before end of November 2007; or did they mean November 2008!!!
