29000 DMUs - Poor Condition
Have IE any plans to refurbish the 29000 DMUs? I use these trains daily and most of them appear to have a very poor external appearance where there is evidence of filling and the paintwork is missing or very shabby
IE started repainting them in a new livery over 3 years ago but only a few seem to have been done. Why was the exercise to repaint them in the new commuter livery not completed? |

Money
Externally doesn't look great but has no impact on reliability

The floors on these units also look a bit iffy. Plenty of places where it's been patched together, and the odd spot that seems a little bouncy underfoot.
It also bugs me how IE seem to go out of their way to pair an old livery set with a new livery one! I'm sure it's all only cosmetic, and we all know IE's funding has been squeezed in every direction. |
