[PR] Irish Rail fuel efficency

[Mark Gleeson]

Firstly the use of 29k stock on the 3 intercity scheduled services each way is down to a lack of trains and not capacity, a 3 coach ICR has more seats than a 4 coach 29k anyway. Sligo line suffers from same on a Friday

The problem network wide is a 3 coach train is routinely too short on many services, but a 6 coach would be overkill and equally 6 coach trains are insufficient on some key services.

There is a good chance some Rosslare services will be moved to 4 coaches, most likely the 18:36 down and 07:15 up. As the Sligo line off peak will need fewer coaches it should mean all services are 22k
