When the 29000s were on the Kildare route they were scheduled for as little as 44mins (2300-2344); today the same service by ICR is still scheduled for 44 mins 2310-2354! Even though the ICR can reach 100mph vs 75 for a 29k, it seems to make little difference to the all stopping schedule. The lack of top speed is compensated by better acceleration; after all the 29k was designed for stopping services.

Fair point but I suspect the current schedules can be tightened up in terms of times, not saying the previous couldn't but as a passenger which stock do you prefer?
Not sure I could deal with commuter stock on a daily commute, not sure what it is but I could handle the DART but not 26/7/8/900 rolling stock.
