I agree with many of the contributors on their views of the green commuter railcars, as tanktevez calls them "glorified darts". But what else would you expect from a Dublin run organisation, who most likely drive to their cross country destination in mercedes or BMW or some other prestige cars and not realising the trauma of travelling on a 29000 railcar. It may be ok to travel on to Wicklow, Kildare or Meath, but for the rest of the country C.I.E (Dublin) could'nt give a rats ass !

Thanks to all for your recent comments. Did you hear the criticism of the railways on Live Line last week ?

Mind you, the class 22000's they have on this service are great, really smooth an comfortable. Class 29000s have atrocious ride quality. Remember travelling on them from the likes of galway and carrick on shannon, at times they would lurch violently from side to side, i thought the fucking things were going to derail! All said, totally unsuitable for long haul journeys.

They will be gone in a year or so with Government expenditure cuts.

My Lordz! Thanks to CIE for keeping loco haulage well into my adult years, giving me the opportunity to relive my youth spent on BR bashing all sorts of interesting traction. I was in Connolly station a couple of weeks ago and was horrified by what I saw on the Sligo trains. I went up to Belfast behind a 201 class and even though I sat in the seat closest to the engine, I couldn't hear any thrash at all. /////air conditioning\\\\\

how things have changed drastically since 1999..

at least we will be seeing the return of InterCity trains very soon for Wexford and those green glorifed darts will be gone!!!
