    the shiney new trains wil make a massive difference until they are a few years old and irish rail maintenance has them as knackered as the markIII's but for now we the passengers are just delighted to have nice trains to get around in but irish rail in its present form is not a company with any future,

    the staff couldn't care less and the management are all over the place bickering with each other over speed restrictions stolen sleepers staff monitering and surveilance etc while anything they buy for use on the rails turns to sh1t, they have signalling thet freezes in winter and is not a bit waterproof when it rains and now we see it also cant handle a good summer! irish rail is doomed and should be wound up with the management charged with misappropriation of government funds and a new railway started from scratch maybe by some promising german company?

    As the Boards.ie moniker goes....NOW YE'RE TALKIN'.:D

    Never was a truer word spoken. I actually consider Irish Rail to be a culturally insane entity, completely out of control and representing the greatest danger to rail transport than all the motorways, cars, buses and budget airlines put together. The management are almost all lunatics right across the board judging by the leaks which have come out and can you imagine what we don't know which hasn't come out yet...The unions are just a giant protection racket.

    They (CIE) have to go once and for all.

    I saw Dick Fearn waffling on about the Malahide Collapse on Oireachtas Report last week, better than any sleeping medicine imho.
