Tue 08 Aug 2010Old fleet may be recalled for Belfast rail route
IARNRÓD ÉIREANN may have to reintroduce a fleet of withdrawn inter-city carriages that are more than 20 years old as part of its long-stated goal of providing an hourly service on the Dublin to Belfast “Enterprise” service.
In the current financial climate, the cost of buying new trains could be prohibitive, but Iarnród Éireann has a large number of unused Mark III inter-city carriage sets which were withdrawn over the last few years following the arrival of new trains during the Celtic Tiger years.
