Cork Kent Station Wed 26 Sept 07

[TheCosmicFrog]

Why are these trains on the Dublin-Cork route different from the ones on the Galway-Dublin route? I'm guessing the main difference is that these have locomotives, but is there a reason for the difference? They got these ones first, right?

[nikvanlanduyt]

They want to sort that rediculous 5ft3 guage out!

oh my god your all wrong.

firstly these were made in spain not south korea the intercity 22k railcars were made in south korea.

secondly they dont do 200mph or 110mph there capable of 200kmh, 125mph but the tracks can only handle 100mph and the locos can only do 100mph max

[torque234]

these are made in south korea

[silverfox2358]

How fast does it go? Do they have electric trains?

[oultonbroad]

The speed is approximately 110 mph and travels between Dublin and Cork in Ireland. Electric traction is only in the Dublin area which are either DART or trams.

[StapledNote]

They don't max at 200. They can probably do about 125-130 like the British HST. Even the Eurostar doesn't reach 200.

[IrishRail123]

the max speed limit in ireland in 90mph anyway

[Jambost]

The belfast - dublin enterprise loco is really goin places!
