    What trains currently have first class; it seems very limited at the moment; with only a few MK4s and DD sets running, are any ICRs using 1st clas s?

    First Class has been scrapped on all ICR services except a return Tralee/Galway Monday-Saturday

    Majorly of Cork have first class and Belfast is one big mess at the minute.

    On Dublin - Belfast;

    DD sets have first class as usual, ICR's have first (certainly any of the ones I've travelled on recently did), NIR C3K's don't...

    These are the only services on the Enterprise that has first class for the time being. Well the only DD set in use anyway.

    Monday-Saturday:
    Dublin-Belfast: 11:00; 16:50
    Belfast-Dublin: 08:00; 14:05

    Sundays:
    Dublin-Belfast: 12:00; 19:00
    Belfast-Dublin: 09:00; 16:05

    It won't be back to normal until next year at this rate. The first refurb set was due back in service this month but it's taking longer than expected to finish, then they have to re-commission the sets new systems, that will take a few weeks at least.
