Enterprise coaches can do 100mph but I don't think anyone would fancy trying that out

A DD set has only about 6hp/ton 29000 has over 9hp/ton and that makes a huge difference when it gets hilly

The 2 Dublin Cork Citygold sets are expected to take up duties between Dublin and Belfast in early 2007, being 5 tons a coach lighter and the locomotive having 500 hp more since a separate generator is available should reveal how bad the speed limits really are and will expose the horrible ride the DeDetrich coaches have
