That looks likely to continue, at least until expansion of electrification. The IC DMUs should provide a grand intercity service, but I still think there will be a severe shortage of commuter stock for the various planned commuter expansions.
In the short term IE could do with an extra batch of 2900s. The trouble is that there probably would then be a surplus once electrification was complete. Would NIR be interested in some slightly used DMUs?
