  3. 12 Million will just about cover extra operational costs. Depends on spare ICRs 2! 216 on 10.35 ex Belfast this morning
  4. That vast amount of money of 12 M compared with the 600 Million.for the A5 scheme alone will just about cover the upgrade of the C4k 6 car sets with CAWS for Dublin services Will also.just cover additional costs of running an hourly service and ICRs are busy enough already on other Irish Rail routes.
