From a passenger standpoint the use of a 2900 set is anything but ideal, there should be an 0600 from Belfast using intercity quality stock offering a competitive journey time from Belfast, Lisburn, Lurgan, Portadown, Newry, Dundalk and Drogheda to Dublin. In the interim the new service offers Newry commuters the opportunity to arrive in Dublin before 0900, something which hasn't been possible since 1997.
