The 17:13 is the busiest on the Northern Line, was the very first 8 coach train ever, thats going to be fun and slow.
There is a problem, you can only use the Belfast bound platform to start/terminate a train at Newry, so how do they cope with both a C3K and a 29K at the same time?
The 6 ICR sets are not used cross border as they are used elsewhere. The formal plan is to use them once the 51 coaches are delivered next year as indicated by Irish Rail to the North/South body.
I very much doubt Irish Rail have an exemption from the TPWS rules, after all steam trains are being fitted at great expense. If they do it will be the first such exemption
All we want is train from Belfast getting to Dublin before 8:40am, once again Irish Rail fail to deliver
