![]() As I was leaving Waterford there seemed to be NI Railway Class 3000 train at the end of one of the platforms. As it was dark I can't be sure but from what I saw it wasn't a IE DMU. I could be wrong but it should be on the 07:10 tomorrow morning.
The front of it looked very like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NI_Railways Last edited by Jamie2k9 : 21-11-2010 at 18:17. |

![]() To be honest we need a photo, since this makes no sense
Its certainly not a C3K as they are not allowed to Waterford in service, it could be but unlikely to be a new C4K being delivered (not due till 2011), it could be the new fancy multi purpose maintenance unit Does it make a difference, nope

![]() First C4K was not due to be delivered until April but is approximately 2 months behind schedule
What the original poster saw must have been a 22K While looking for something else entirely on the net earlier today I saw an short piece on the new vehicle. Apparently it can't be used as it is out of gauge for the Irish system

![]() That is probably the most logical explanation
The C3K and C4K are the same in physical dimensions and should fit anywhere subject to a practical test. Both are/will be certified for cross border operation
