This all starts to fit together

The weekly circular issued last week said 9am Dublin Cork and 13:30 return would be set 4002, the one parked in platform 9 Heuston.

It is fairly well known that set 4002 is the only one suitable for passenger services, the above post clearly shows that set 4003 was not ready for service

Iarnród Éireann withdrew seat booking on those trains, 9am Dublin Cork and 13:30 return

We all assumed that the first service would be the 9am, I've been told that. There is a big question of how the 5:30 out of Cork became a CDE operated
