Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Kenny:

It is on the Cork-Dublin train - what we call the mark 4 trains - already. We are working with Translink to extend it to that line. Capacity will bring the opportunity for it. As we expand frequency on various routes, we can start dedicating carriages. The short answer is that we want to expand the quiet carriages. They are quite popular where they have been introduced. Where we have three carriage trains and things like that, giving the full capacity over is a little restrictive, but as we expand the service we will look to introduce it.
