[edit] Car types

The recent edit by 84.66.246.166 re no. of 3 & 6-car sets is, I believe, correct. However, my own sources tell me that all car types are powered. A "B1" type being identical to the "B" type except for the addition of sanding. This would mean that only 2 cars of the 3-car set would be powered, which doesn't seem likely. Unless you know differently?? Suckindiesel 23:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

It is correct that all cars are powered. Earlier info in an enthusiast magazine was wrong on this point

My own info is that there is no "B2" type car, only B & B1 types. Ref to a "B2" type in some docs is a typo Suckindiesel 17:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is biased Irish Rail propaganda, ignoring delays in the introduction of these trains including the fact that all publicity about them has been removed from stations and different reports of technical problems with them —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.67.152.237 (talk) 19:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

That the article is "biased Irish Rail propaganda" is putting it a bit strongly as none of the facts contained within this article are incorrect, as far as I can tell. The only part that is doubtful is the "In service: Late 2007" claim. Time will tell re this one. Suckindiesel 13:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

That the service introduction of these trains has been delayed is certainly true. However, that is not the point of the article which merely states a late 2007 service date. I have re-read the article in vain looking for any factual inaccuracies and have therefore removed the disputed article header. Suckindiesel 16:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Manufacturer

I've removed ref to TCC & substituted Hyundai Rotem as manufacturers. These cars are made in Rotem's plant in Korea, not by TCC, who merely supplied the bogies. Therefore TCC are in the same category as any other sub-supplier. Suckindiesel (talk) 17:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
