Only 1 locomotive and 1 coach currently carry the logo, only ones painted this year
About 650 vehicles in the fleet, need painting approx every 10 years, 60+ a year need a paint so. Logo is a transfer applied after painting or to replace worn
SIPTU really have become a joke in raising an issue about this, its petty and really shows SIPTU hasn't a clue about the major issues within Irish Rail
So for example Aer Lingus operate out of Belfast have never had a problem with a big green plane with a Shamrock and tricolour on the registration.

Wouldn't even count the 071 as having the logo seen as its while and not coloured like the Mark IV DVT. The 6 loco or less for Belfast services won't be painted with it and when the EGV's are sorted out there should be few failues once the 201's get some TLC every so often and they don't wait for a failure.
Your right about SIPTU but the crew for Aer Lingus in Belfast are not allowed operate in the Republic....says it all about the union.
