that is excellent, cant wait for the full detailed techie review but lcp's review is more or less what i'm interested in as he's a normal punter who just wants to get somewhere without getting thrown around and his arse numbed into oblivion. so it sounds as though they have passed the test!!

Mr X they'll gradually be increased as they get to the 10,000 mile mark of running in. There are no mark 2's on the Dublin Cork line so probably by September all of the Mark 3 will be gone from cork, I think all the Limerick rakes will be those Mark 3's from then as well as Galway, the mark2's from them being withdrawn. The cravens may live onm in their usual Friday only spots but the mk2's will go there eventually.

Next year when the Intercity DMU's come in it'll be fun. I guess that the push pull mark 3 will get Belfast after a repaiint to shore up enterprise. Where the rest go is anyone's guess.
