That's not quite true re capacity - the overall capacity of a 4 car 29k is higher than a 3 car 22k when you take standees into consideration.

The lunchtime train from Connolly and evening return from Rosslare would need a 4pce 29k to cope during the summer.

I would certainly expect the 29k sets to remain on the commuter trips on the route.
