The fact of the matter is that 29k commuter trains should not be used all the way to Sligo. They are unsuitable and it is unfair on customers.

A 3 car would be great for the morning service down but its coming back where the problem is.
Cork-Tralee get 2600's quiet often on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The reason being this route is always operated by 3 car sets and on weekends demand is way higher and some 3 car sets replaced by 6 car sets and 4 car 2600/2800 take over services that 3 car sets were taken off.
Limerick J-Limerick/Ennis/Galway get them.
Nobody else gives out so much about them as people on the Sligo route. Kerry passengers pay the highest fares in Ireland and I have yet to see a poster complaining about them.
2800's are more less capable in keeping up with Sligo's line speed as well as the other routes they operate on.
IE are matching capacity with demand on Weekends.
You never know if people complain so much IE might just cut a daily service in 2014 to keep everybody happy.
Won't take people to long to settle for 2800's on 4 services per week out of around 90 services.
