Its cheaper to operate an ICR, 3, 6 or 9 coaches all good for 100mph, no need for a guard and the fuel consumption per mile is less.
I think it said that operating an ICR fuel wise is €6 per km in the 2030 rail vision. If thats correct what would the 201 class be around?

What cost are you referring to ? Fuel cost ?, maintainance cost ? staffing cost ? Track costs ? Over what equipment life-cycle ?
Think the ICR may be kinder to the tracks more than the 201.
