Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann
Mr. Jim Meade:
It will, yes. It will happen stage by stage but over a relatively short period, probably about a year or less as the trains come into service. As we will be running a mix of trains until then, including our existing Enterprise sets, some of our ICR sets, and some of Translink's CAF sets,there will not be one standard of service. Our ICRs and the Enterprise are very close in standard but the CAFs are more of a commuter train. While it is something we are looking at, the new trains will be next-generation, beyond what is on the Enterprise or the Cork service at present.
