Is it not possible for Rosslare/Wexford intercity services to operate from Connolly to Bray directly and not call at Tara Street,Pearse and Dun Laoghaire like it was before the old mark2 was replaced with the commuter 2700class thats when Rosslare trains travelled to Maynooth and Drogheda making it Commuter rather than intercity. Only Arklow or Gorey commuter trains will call at Tara,Pearse and Dun Laoghaire. It would be fantastic if the old Connolly Direct to Bray would be restored.

Would it not make sense to replace the new 22k trains with a mark3 and a 071locomotive because those new trains are good for 160km/h they would be better for a line of that speed.the 071class can do 70 or 80mp/h it would make more sense.
