Default Sligo Mark 2 + 071

With due respect Mark this thread is about using public transport to Sligo - in this case a train; a train that broke down and seriously discomoded many people.
It is about the awful service provided by IE to the people travelling to Sligo from Dublin on the day; some of whom were reported as elderly.
These people should not have to put up with a train which, according to your good self, was not in a proper condition before it left Dublin.
I am sure you are correct in stating some of the carriages had no heating. This is a disgrace and should not be tolerated. I hope our, very well paid, public TD's representing Sligo, get together and put serious pressure on IE to get the 22000 trains into service without further delay.
Fact is, modern trains like the 22000's are less likely to break down compared to Mark 2 stock pulled by 071's.
