network was confirmed on Monday 13th December as Alstom were awarded a contract by Iarnród Éireann for up to 750 new rail carriages over the coming decade. An initial order of 95 carriages, comprising six sets of five-carriage conventional electric trains and thirteen sets of five-carriage battery-electric trains has been placed, at a total project cost of €317.8 million (incl VAT), which includes substantial design costs for the full framework agreement. The battery powered carriages will quickly provide more capacity for commuters in advance of electrification of the lines upon which they will operate. They will ultimately replace the original DART Fleet (dating from 1984) later in the decade. DART+ will facilitate sustainable mobility and development to enhance quality of life in our capital and its surrounding counties. Due to enter service in 2025 IE 15.12.2021 |
