RedRich Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 It was going to come sooner or later. Good news for commuters in that zone but sad news for rail enthusiasts. It still saddens me to see the MK111's in Waterford west every time I pass. I believe they are in a terrible state internally. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 a real shame. one of the lads put up a pic of the north wall and there was a few mk3's still there. was hoping against the odds that they might be put back in service, but as you say thats not going to happen now:(( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm171 kk Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Well at least we have more freight liners to look forward to. Thank God the mk3s aren't out of the game completely yet. It still would have been nice to see some new stuff around as well though. They hardly thought they would get away with advertising new and improved trains just to soften the blow of risen fares did they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looks like someone found an old press release in their inbox and didn't check the date. The Mk3s fate has long been sealed in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
