At the moment there is a fairly sizable and increasing number of railcars based in Limerick and Cork all these have to travel back to Drogheda for just about anything non routine as the number of trains in Dublin increases Drogheda won't have any capacity for this, plus it can take 2 days to get the railcar up to Drogheda if it has a serious problem

Limerick would be good since it on the bottom of the WRC and also will have a few 22k units overnight, problem is its rather close to Portlaoise

Cork would be good since it has a large number of railcars, a number which will increase in coming years, its about as far from Drogheda as you can get and will have a few 22k's based there

Portlaoise is designed for 23m coaches (mk3/4/enterprise/C3k/22k), it can't jack a 20m one
