Mr. Eoin Gillard:

There is an integration between the service we plan to deliver and the availability of the fleet to deliver it. There has been an insertion of 41 additional intermediate cars on intercity or interurban rail services. That manifested from funding that was provided in 2019 and they came into service last year.

On the insertion of new fleet, the DART+ fleet will create a cascade of diesel units that can be fed into the service. The planning for that will be service-led and dependent on where the need is greatest. It will be done through looking at the timetable and demand. Given the uncertainty around when those vehicles will be released, the plan for the cascade of vehicles has not been determined at this stage.
