The problem is simple IE are by the ministers requirements required to run a profitable freight business
You don't want to take on the road haulage representitives, imagine their reaction if IE was given large grants to get freight moving.
For reference CIE has not sold a single acre in Spencer Dock Dublin, they still own the 41 acres and still have a dockside container yard in Dublin, same applies in Cork
From what I can see the IRN boys just want to take photos, they won't be happy if the trains are plain, hopefully by 2008 they will be extinct
