Dublin DART EMU workings ?

[D7666]

A couple of questions about *current* Dublin DART EMU workings.

I ask, but I don't suppose anyone has the current EMU diagrams do they ? On the argument I have never ever seen any the since 1980s 1500 V wires went up, that is a long shot question.

Do the 8100 type and 85xx types freely work any diagram, or are there separate diagrams ?

Say Tuesday to Thursday service, how many EMU diagrams are there ? I could count from the public timetables how many to run the service assuming in and out turn rounds at terminals, but that does not give diagrams. Last time I was at Howth, in the first year of this century, there was zero obvious in-and-out working and multiple swaps during the day.

Reason wanting to know how many is want to cover them all, but without knowing the count, don't know when have done so, as something might come out later.

Their live trains running

does not have sufficient data i.e. no platforms at terminals to work out a more detailed count.


Not interested in dmu.

The Dart diagrams are complicated given the service level.
Every service has a specific type of unit allocated but Japanese and German Darts can swap links during the day because of failure etc.
4 cars being swapped for 6 or 8 etc.
If you wanted to know what sort of unit was working a specific service then that is easy.
Asking for every service it will work during the day is a bit more time consuming!

I wasn't thinking in the way of a one by one blow by blow for every diagram nor asking for that; but just one document with all diagrams in, which is not time consuming, if such a thing actually exists anywhere outside internal stuff. Fully aware units can swap, but even after a swap, replacements usually continue to that diagram.

Such a document doesn't exist for the public. I can provide a single diagram as an example however.
