Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann

1:30 pm

Mr. Jim Meade:

They are five-car sets. As they come in that gives us the capacity. Until then we are going to see a lot of standing, especially with commuter trains, because we just do not have the capacity. Between now and then we will have no more new rolling stock. We are in the latter stages of putting in 41 extra cars we purchased for our existing trains just to make them longer, but we can see that capacity has already been eaten up.
