I was amazed to see 4 sets in Limerick and 1 at Limerick Junction. I take it they will be one of the first lines to get the new stock after Sligo?

I doubt it, Limerick's got a good shop and sidings to keep those bad boys while they're throwing a few thousand miles on them.... they really are skating all over the land.

This is starting to go off topic, there is a thread elsewhere for the 22k issues

would it be possible to get the early bird to pass maynooth just before the 07.22. There is a gap of 22 minutes between the 07.00 and 07.22 or would it be too early.

Hi Mark, What is the issue on an Early-Bird weekday train from Wexford to Dublin's Connolly station. On the Gorey thread it will depart at 06:00 and that will be the 06:45 so that service will be the same amount of time. But everyone if you havent noticed I'm going to say it - The current 06:45 train arrives at Connolly 08:55 now thats 2hr10mins so add another 45mins from Wexford to Gorey now you have 2hr55mins not far from 3hrs,People will take one luck at the timetable and literally stand back. I thought Iarnrod Eireann are reducing the times it doesnt appear to be happening but I'm guessing this train will be a Commuter train. Maybe there is hope for the InterCity side of it. I dont want to keep going on and on about this but if we dont our services on the Rosslare/Gorey line are going to suffer. We all know how Iarnrod Eireann likes to neglect the Rosslare/Sligo lines.
