They should be using them mark 3's for the shuttle between Limerick Junction-Limerick. I don't see why they are parked up in Waterford and other places not being used. And the non push/pull GM201's should never be sold, their the only decent locomotives we have, they could be out spreading ballast and hauling freight and the 071's retiring. As for them 2700's :@ (which i have a real hatred for) even if they couldn't be sold they should just give them away. Surely got to be 2 or 3 spare sets of 29000 as well they could use. I have never actually been on a 29000 commuter, are they uncomfortable and noisy like the 2700's?
