    Is it getting the enterprise livery or is it staying in IC livery with the white logo like the 071s
  2. heustonconnolly
    Why not, is it because the locos don't need as much of a break from the strain of hep, but if thats the case they would have dropped tbem from the fleet when the mk3 vans came into service? Why now?

    Anybody know about 227 and 231 are they staying in the intercity livery?
  4. heustonconnolly
    The craven interior is very comfortable!! But the refurbed DD stock is very modern and very comfortable, its the closest coach to a mk3 still in service if not better imo, I never traveled in cravens when they wer in service, only on specials ect,

    I understand now:-D, with IE maintaining 40 locos and the overhaul of the 071s, they wouldn't have time to do the refurbishment,they did do all the locos though! Are 227 and 231 being left in the green intercity livery or are they being dropped from the enterprise fleet?
  6. heustonconnolly
    I know that NIR maintain to coaches and IE maintain the locos, but if they wanted to get if finished as fast as possible they should have let IE refurb at least 1 full set,at least... I dont see why York Road would have more personal and facilities to refurbish to coaches,remember inchicore has much more experience with coaches than York Road down through the years not refurbishing them but maintenance, NIR always had diesel railcars and not much coaches So I think inchicore would have as much facilities as York Road?

    Jhb171achill, why was all the refurbishment done at York Road why didn't iarnrod eireann do half of it and it would be finished by now?
  8. heustonconnolly
    The branch into Dublin airport would have risen passenger numbets all over the country as alot of buses travel to Dublin airport from intercity routes,although it would probably clog things up more along to line but as you said they could surly add one track a few miles after Connolly or even....
  9. heustonconnolly
    There would be no need to get faster rolling stock if they got the DD's running at 90mph for most of the journey but it gets slowed down everywhere, but passenger numbers are bound to rise when to refurb is finished
  10. heustonconnolly
    Surly passenger numbers will rise when all the DD sets come back!!,apart from the path out of Connolly to enterprise seems to be slowed down everywhere else too

    So is there a plan to do an hourly with the 22k's?
  12. heustonconnolly
    So did NIR want to use them on the enterprise but IE declined? And also if you happen to know, why didn't Ie do some of the refurbishment on the de dietrich coaches, if they had split it,and refurbished some in inchicore it would be done by now!instead of doing them all at York Road?

    Outstanding, well done!
  14. heustonconnolly
    Hi Does anyone here know if irishrail have plans to put mk4 sets on the enterprise to have an hourly service with the DD's. I heard this somewhere here before but I can't remember, I would much rather the DD's though, they are by far! the better coaches
