    Yes, and the staff member on duty at Portarlington was out gritting the front of station and platforms while I was there.

    No, it was a full 8pce MKIV set. I did notice a short MKIV set knocking around Inchicore alright when passing one day, but that isn't currently in service.

    I see, perhaps it may operate the 13.00/16.20 service at some stage instead of a 8 piece currently. It's actually 6 piece including the DVT.

    Only ever ran a MKIV set as a 6pce once and that was during the big freeze in 2010. No plans to repeat that.

    I see they could be preparing it to be back at 8 as increased Mark IV use is coming mid Feb going by the JP which is showing 09.00, 11.00, 15.00, 12.20, 14.20 and 18.20 as going back to Mark IV full time.

    Morning all,

    Since introduction, the MKIV fleet has operated services on the Cork mainline. Yesterday, a trial train operated from Mallow to Tralee to allow gauging clearance for the MKIV carriages on the Kerry Road. The MKIV set 4008 operated with "River Flesk" GM 217 . Not sure if the choice of loco was a coincidence or not (River Flesk is in Kerry). The reason for the clearance allows the MKIV fleet to be used on private charters & G.A.A. spls out of Tralee/Killarney/Millstreet.
