    Irish Rail no services due to strike today

    Just a brief comment on the 56k wages. Of the employees in that band 40% are on 36k and less. 56k is the max wage of a driver however many would be below this. Wages do need to drop but the Government are really screwing up to 60 million from IE per year in a free travel scheme. If it was...

    Irish Rail - Stations under review

    Just to point a few things out, no stations will be closed. The Limerick regional lines to Waterford and BallyB are the biggest risk but the reality is no stations will close unless those lines do. This media article made it into the independent because of a online discussion about Irish...

    Irish Railways - Fencing requirement?

    Would make no difference if the lights started flashing 2 or 3 minutes before the train came. People would still go across with seconds to spare.

    IE Dart EMU class 8500 8510 8520

    Sorry your correct, I have no idea why I posted those years as I had the correct ones like you and changed, one of those days. All 8500's are AC motors while 8100 are DC motors.

    0710 Waterford to Dublin Heuston

    PC is a joke, IE have some cheek charging fares for it, cheap plastic seat covers and a small reading lamp. PC class is only well used on Tralee line for the means on the direct service, most other routes have next to nobody in them at all. It should be scrapped as having 1 carriage off...

    0710 Waterford to Dublin Heuston

    I know one or two of the sets allowed up North were given the full logo from the start, if they are converting sets 1 to 4 into 4's then they should finish it. Surly it would make more sense not to convert the sets that can go across the border? Not that they will anytime soon.

    0710 Waterford to Dublin Heuston

    so much for the special logo on sets 1 to 6.

    0710 Waterford to Dublin Heuston

    It would of being 23 that you saw in the yard.

    0710 Waterford to Dublin Heuston

    You could have 071 or 201's but the general norm on Waterford is 071's and a mix on Dublin-Ballina IWT.
