Vote 31 - Transport (Revised)

Rail carriages were spoken about. There are plans for new electric carriages to be delivered within the DART network. I raised with the Minister previously the capacity issues we had on regional services. I think he mentioned it would be quarter 4 of 2026 when the first electric carriages would be operational on the DART network. My understanding is that the existing diesel carriages will move out to the regional routes after that. In that case, will it be 2027 or 2028 when regional routes that need extra carriages will get them?
