Iarnród Éireann's plan to introduce battery and electric-operated trains for the greater Dublin region in place of its current diesel train stock is edging a step closer.
Iarnród Éireann's plan to introduce battery and electric-operated trains for the greater Dublin region in place of its current diesel train stock is edging a step closer.
In total, Iarnród Éireann has ordered 37 new trains for the greater Dublin area, which will serve its DART+ expansion on lines to Maynooth, Drogheda and Hazelhatch over the next few years.The trains at the production depot in Katowice are powered by lithium batteries which travel up to 80km before needing to be recharged.
"We’re nearly at four years in the design process from the start of the concept and the beginning of the tender," said Mr Smyth. The lengthy process of Dublin’s long-awaited metro service offers a reminder that delivery timescales for public transport projects can get bogged down. So far, the Department of Transport has not set a date for the widescale electrification of all train lines in the country, though it is working on an all-island strategic plan to electrify much of the network.

Pub Chain to Hang Dart Boards in All Bars After Teenage Sensation Sparks DemandA pub chain will hang dart boards in all 171 of its bars after a surge in demand sparked by teenage sensation Luke Littler. The Nuke, 17, exploded into the limelight after reaching the final of the PDC World Championship earlier this year – and sparked a massive increase in the sales of darts and dart boards. Now a pub's boss wants boards placed in all his watering holes to cash in on the sport’s popularity. James Baer, chief executive of Blackpool-based Amber Taverns, said: “Darts doesn’t sound the most glamorous or exciting thing but, with the interest generated by Luke Littler, there has been a real take-up. It’s another reason to come to the pub.” Luke, from Warrington, Cheshire, was still only 16 when he made it to the world final at London’s Alexandra Palace in January. Since then, Luke has become a PDC darts professional, raking in more than £250,000 so far. Amber Taverns is not the first business to benefit from his success
