New trains on Dublin - Limerick route.

Funkstard · 2007-09-01 10:45:03

Does anyone know if these have been rolled out yet? Starting back college next week and would like if they have disposed of some of the older models. I saw ad's back before summer mentioning August '07 as a date. Has this been kept to? Cheers

I've seen the new trains in Limerick, but not sure whether they were just doing test runs or if they were actually in service.

I saw new trains there too before the summer, hoped they were the new trains and that they'd be ins service by now. However I read on another thread here that those trains are in Limerick just for testing or something.

There are new trains on the Dublin to Cork route, they are a year or two old.

The trains on test in Limerick are for the Sligo and Rosslare lines for this year. The new trains won't be on other routes till next year.

No you havent. At best you've got the new, well, I say new, they're going over a year now, Cork train to the Junction. All the direict Limerick services are now Mark3 which if you've been only ever been using Mark 2's or cravens, seem like Condorde.
