I clearly must have been imagining things on the 13:10 Tralee on 5th August 2006 when 072 limped pathetically into Cork on 4 motors after a nice delay at Thurles while the driver attended to it... Meanwhile 2818 was in fine form leading the 16:52 Maynooth - Enniscorthy past Killiney this evening: Last Edited By: MV038 06/05/08 19:25:18. Edited 1 times.

Most times they operate on all 6 and even on 5 engines you wouldnt notice the difference. When you clock up the amount of mileage I have on the 2800 class come back and comment. www.irishrailcargricersassociation.yuku.com

Plenty of people going around in circles down there...like Teletubbies. Last Sunday was a great day,tis no wonder the N11 is a lost busier taking the road,,You're Better off on Bus Eireann.

Railcars are just numb,boring out,pity,but thats the way it is. There is only 20 28's,so what is the attraction of putting up daily numbers of their movemens,when in reality,nobody is really interested. It's the same oul thing. Yes Sir.

Now the 22K are doing the same same elsewhere. All we need now is some freight multiple units!! www.irishrailcargricersassociation.yuku.com

Or was it to hold her engine together after she collapsed spectacularly on the Taras a while back??

I just don't think they deserve the cult status they seem to be enjoying of late. The fact of the matter is they fail just like everything else, and look how looooooooooong they spend trying to build up the brake on MkIIIs... The 2800s on the other hand cope admirably with some of the toughest diagrams on the system. I'm not saying they never fail, but I'd be interested to see how 071s and MkIIIs would cope with the current Rosslare diagrams on a daily basis. I doubt their reliability figures would be any better than the 2800s to be honest.

So would I! It would be a great improvement on what in reality are Commuter Railcars. My turn to run for cover!
