Last time I was on one they didn’t have it. This is as good as expected nowadays; same with the 29 class. Quote

jhb171achill Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Putting an oul crate like these things on the Enterprise service is just awful. I've made a note on the new Enterprise timetable of which services are railcar-operated, and will make sure I won't be using them. DDs only for me! Quote

I imagine they'd only be used as backups if there's nothing else. Above photos were from 2021 (Unit 25 still wearing a very worn-looking older livery!) 1 Quote

IrishTrainScenes Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 1405 ex Belfast 60 late train fault. Irish Rail Railcar on 1650 as a result Quote
IrishTrainScenes Posted June 15 Author Posted June 15 Last night the 1650 ex Dublin was 65 to 70 minutes late, trespass incident. Similarly the 1605 ex Belfast was 45 minutes late and the 1900 ex Dublin was 30 minutes late. All because of a baseball bat wielding nut job at Gormanston! Quote
