There is definitely something badly wrong with the earthing on these cars. I took out two cars last week when I forgot my normal laptop power cable and so used my European one with an Irish adapter.
The lack of earth tripped it immediately. The first time, I assumed that it had just gone, but after I moved and the second car tripped out I decided to stop moving.
So, my apologies to anybody on the Sligo line last week struggling without power on the set with the dining car. Mea Culpa.
I've also noticed a problem with noise on my headphones when charging my phone on USB. This noise clears up if I touch the metal trim on my phone.
