‘Ride quality’ issues with €117m carriages

NEW train carriages introduced on the Cork to Dublin line just three years ago will have to be modified because they shake, vibrate and rock too much.

Iarnród Éireann admitted yesterday it has “ride quality” issues with the 67 carriages which cost €117 million and were first introduced in to service in 2006.

A company spokesman said certain “ride quality issues” arose shortly after the carriages entered service.
