6 car first class set on Kildare local

Would it make any sense for some 22's on Kildare to swap with some of the 29s from sligo? Sligo is a lot longer to be sittting on a commuter

Or would it cause rostering problems?

The 22000s need to be on the Kildare commuter services, so that they don't delays intercity services on the two track section.

There should be enough 22000s to cover all Sligo services. I get the impression few of the services are now commuter sets.

22s have been heading Connolly side but have been displacing 2800s from Drogheda which have been sent to Athlone, Waterford and Limerick, those in turn due to replace 2700s once familiarisation training is complete. Drogheda is nearly out of 28s though so presumably some changes may be imminent when the next sets are released from testing.

In the timetable, there was no difference in timing between 22K and 29k running to Kildare; both were allocated 44 to 50 mins for all stops. Today with only 22Ks the time is still 44mins..
