When there is a problem it all goes pear shaped very quickly. its hard to understand why Translink and IE have never sorted this!

With only three train sets in daily use, a failure tends to stick out far more on the Enterprise than on other services.
Failures at Heuston tend not to stick out as much as they're likely to result in ICR sets being "stepped up", in other words moved up from other services until a replacement set arrives from the depot or the issue resolved.
They don't tend to have that luxury with the Enterprise.
