I'm surprised Iarnrod Eireann are rolling out the new trains because I would have thought the company would wait until all the trains have arrived then introduce them all in one go............ But thankfully they have'nt. When is the Westport line getting the new trains do you know?

Byrne slams Railcar delay
"Gorey town councillor Malcolm Byrne has criticised Iarnrod Eireannfor futher delaying the introduction of the new Intercity Railcars on the Rosslare to Dublin route. The new carriages for trains servicing counties Wexford and Wicklow were due to be introduced by the end of 2007 and then again in early 2008 but in the latest letter that Cllr.Malcolm Byrne received from Iarnrod Eireann Chief Executive, Richard Fearn, He has been informed that these Railcars will only be introduced during the second half pf 2008. Malcolm said that while he appreciated the improvements that Irish Rail have been making, Continually delaying commencement of the newer more comfortable carriages causes those using the rail services to lose faith. We are waiting over a year since they were first promised he said. The Gorey councillor said he has also been continually putting pressure on the rail company to deliver on the long awaited car park, An application for planning has not yet been submitted. Cllr Malcolm Byrne said Richard Fearn has apologised for the delays and has requested the project be given greater priority in the current year. The land at Gorey rail station has been designated as car park for over six years but Iarnrod Eireann have failed to move on commitments to transform this area siad the councillor. Cllr Malcom Byrne also said that the Chief has also confirmed that a new evening commuter service to Gorey will commence Tuesday,May 6th. The service will Connolly at 16:40 and arrive in Gorey at 18:33. It will call at Tara Street,Pearse and on to Bray. It is hoped that this service will relieve overcrowding on the 17:25 evening service. This will bring 6 the number of weekday trains from the capital to Gorey"
Its obvious that none of the councillors use this site from Gorey or they would have known about the late introduction of the Railcars sometime ago. |

Rail Plan Laid out
"GOREY Town Councilor Malcolm Byrne has said significant time savings may soon be made on railways journeys between Wexford and Dublin. I've been in communication with Iarnrod Eireann again and they have informed me that they are looking at ways of prioritizing Wexford trains on the line from Greystones into Connolly. Their logistics people are hoping that when revised timetables are published at the end of the year significant time savings can be made"
