    cheers lads,

    I have the sea legs packed and a brace to hold me in the chair, as well as earplugs for the ''quiet zone'' :p

    Not always. The 9am service from Dublin to Cork is sometimes a 3 car 22k.

    Makes sense to run that service as a short 22k. The loadings are never very high because the cheap fares start with the 10am service.

    yeah but then you have to run a return with it or send it somewhere else, whereas the 201/Mk4 would be there anyway to do the return...

    Plus IE make a point of blabbing about the mk4s comfort etc on the Dublin-Cork route.

    I've been one the 22ks twice and they are horrible uncomfortable trains, no way I'd ever get one to Cork, the one to Galway was bad enough
