Oisin,

Some of them ride very smoothly. It's definitely an "on-going issue" rather than something direly wrong with the entire fleet. In my personal experience of the MK4 as a passenger, the ride's been quite ok. Perhaps a little harder than MK3, but nothing shockingly bad.

I think however, there's no harm in reporting every bumpy ride issue at this stage as it's the best time for IE to resolve problems.

Also, I am sure that feedback can only be beneficial.

I would suggest that forum members who happen to ride the CDE would give their coach number and a brief description of any ride issues etc on a thread on these boards. This way the info could perhaps be fedback to IE on a regular basis to make sure that the "dodgy coches" are looked into!

I honestly think that long term these trains will be a major improvement on the Cork line.

The coach numbers are clearly printed in the gangways above the door as well as on the coach exteriors. Just stick the number into your phone / scribble it down and report any major bumpiness.
