I think that IE ordered too many 3 car sets and too few 6 car sets.

I know the idea was to run shorter more frequent trains, however the very attraction of traveling by train is comfort and the ability to visit the buffet car. If I am traveling from Dublin to Sligo, and I want a cup of tea (expensive as that might be), I could end up waiting for a trolley to come to my seat and the train might be beyond Longford.

I suspect that many trains will end up as 2x3 car sets.
