Enterprise fleet refurbishment

aWotW · 30-05-2016, 19:53

The Enterprise that left Newry for Dublin at 07:40 on Thurs 26 May 2016 was missing a standard class carriage.
It was announced on the train that this was due to a mechanical fault.

It actually happened twice last week on that same train. And again today. How wonderful to pay over €3,000 p.a. for the privilege of standing in a (crowded) gangway. It wouldn't be so bad if it was on the way home but on the way into work? Matthews' Bus from Dundalk is looking more and more inviting...

On Thurs 9 June 2016 on the 07.40 from Newry
I was in a carriage where the window lights were on
but the electronic seat indicators, wifi and clock display were not working.

Sounds like the MMI/computer is off, train works fine (i.e. exactly as it was before the refurbishment)

Its most likely a damaged cable as there is an industrial ethernet cable running the length of the train which hosts as the fancy stuff

08:00 ex-Dundalk: no coach G every day this week so far. Standing, of course, and very uncomfortable after Drogheda, with the extra people. Would have been even more so had the weather been hot. In a way, it reminded me of the "old" Enterprise back in the 70s - early 80s, particularly the 17:30 from Connolly, which was regularly packed and standing was the norm unless you got there early to join the head of the queue, which as I recall used to reach the door out to the old ramp.

Same this morning, no doubt IrishRail haven't noticed or they would be running a relief ! Amazing they bother running a service out of Dundalk at all.

1035 and 1320 are a C3K today. The 0735 ex Dublin set failed in Belfast
