Its not a fair comparison to compare a 2900 and the new CDE trainsets, they are two very different trains for very different jobs, one is a high density low speed commuter train the other is a long distance high speed
The CDE coaches and 2900 units have a family connection the NI C3K which shares some of its interior design with the new Cork coaches, there is a 460 hp engine under the floor and its quiet and it rides very very well.
French design trains seem to be dark, bright and airy is the way and if you have a lighting failure we will really appreciate a bright interior
The carpet remains on the floor the walls are plastic. The luggage racks are large and have tinted glass in them, the lighting is good.
You cant really knock it till you have tried it
