I doubt it rides that badly to be quite honest. MK3 ride is often viewed with rose tinted glasses. It's smooth but lets be objective when this train starts running and not listen out for every creek and sway just because it's new.

The CAF 29000s have different bogies and suspension to this fleet and suffer vibration due to under-floor engines etc.

I'll reserve my judgement on the "CityLink / CDE / MK4 / Pointy Green thing" until I actually board one and go to Cork.
