Apparently the dining cars in the "new" DD train will be "different".

 

Anyone know how, why, or - for example - will it be possible for one of the Great Unwashed (standard class) to go up to it and have a sit-down breakfast like on a Mk 4 set?

As far as I know yes jhb - the free 'stools' will be replaced with proper seats. Think they will still be standard class (going on the direction of the buffet, with the counter towards First Class)

 

Jawfin - the 5pce ICR has first class and catering on board.

 

De Dietrich diagram is as follows:

 

Monday-Saturday:

0800 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1100 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

1405 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1650 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

 

Sunday:

0900 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1200 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

1605 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1900 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

 

 

5-car ICR is as follows:

 

Monday-Saturday:

0735 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

1035 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1320 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

1605 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1900 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

2115 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

 

Sunday:

1000 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

1305 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1600 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

1905 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

 

 

NIR 3000-class:

 

Monday-Saturday:

0650 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly (3pce MTO)

0935 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central (3pce MTO)

1235 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

1520 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

1805 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

2050 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central

 

Sunday:

1105 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly

----

An additional 0755 Dundalk - Dublin Connolly runs Monday-Friday as relief to the 0650 ex Belfast

JHB, seating in the Dining Cars will be for standard class passengers. Whether it will be reserved for those wishing to eat and what level of catering will be offered is not clear yet. One down side is that, due to the high level windows, views will be somewhat restricted. The Wanderer featured a photo study of the first refurbished set on 16.11.2015, including this photo of the seating area in 9402:

The former bar/standing area of the buffet vehicles has been replaced with 16 seats. The intention is for standard class customers to avail of a meal. On the 0800 service this morning nobody availed of it. A cultural change will be required for this to work as previously full meals were only available to First Class customers. Mon 16.11.15
