Irish Rail clarifies new Dart carriages fit tunnels despite rumors

irishtimes.com

Irish Rail denies rumors that new Dart carriages are too large for tunnels. The company states the trains are designed for the existing network and have been tested without issue. The delay in introducing the new carriages is attributed to minor modifications of overhead line equipment in the Bray Head tunnels, not their size. These works are part of a planned program. Irish Rail has ordered 750 carriages for the Dart+ project, which aims to significantly expand the Dart service. Previous delays were linked to battery pack testing.
