Since the Limerick Junction-Waterford set starts from Waterford you'd think there would be operational efficiencies in making it an all-22000 operation even if a 200 seat 100mph set is, erm, overkill for the line in question! Instead they will probably refresh the crews onto 2800s ex Limerick-Galway (the first 2800 has been seen on Limerick-Galway).
I did have a similar thought re: the last northbound train back in April 2010.

That train is now scheduled for 2028. It doesn't help that for some reason the LimerickJ-Waterford service is held no less than nine minutes after the Dublin, Cork and Limerick services leave LJ (1850 dep). Is there any scope to narrow that gap now that all this resignalling work has been done?
