The Enterprise route is marked in yellow, Stations marked in blue are stations the Enterprise stops at, Stations marked in purple are only served once a week, stations not marked are stations the Enterprise does not stop at.
(Enterprise services operate from Belfast Lanyon Place to Dublin Connolly)


The yellow is the route for Enterprise/Commuter services. NOTE: DART services ONLY call at Clontarf Road, Killester, Harmonstown, Raheny, Kilbarrack, Howth Junction and Donaghmede, Clongriffin, Portmarnock and Malahide. On the Howth branch the DART calls at Howth Junction and Donaghmede, Bayside, Sutton and Howth.

Enterprise Driving Trailer (2015-Present Livery) (Numbered 9001, 9002, 9003 and 9004

Enterprise First Class Trailer



Enterprise Catering Coach


Enterprise Standard Class Coach (There are four of these coaches on the Enterprise sets, and while they look similar to the First Class Trailer there is some differences.


Enterprise Ex Irish Rail Mark 3 Generator Van

 

The top speed of the Enterprise sets is 90mph (145 km/h)

 

Safety systems on the NIR and Irish Rail Network are:
AWS (Automatic Warning System)
TPWS (Train Protection & Warning System)
CAWS (Continuous Alert Warning System)
DRA (Driver Reminder Appliance)
NIR Train Radio (Northern Ireland Railways Train Radio)
Irish Rail Train Radio

 

Additional notes: ICR coaches numbers are 222xx 224xx 223xx, 221xx and 225xx (225xx appears on 5 piece sets only) (Sets 22001 -22006 & 22036 - 22039 have the plain black logos on them), 22007 - 22035 and 22040 - 22063 have the coloured logos on it.

 

IE 22000 Class DMU Sets 22001 - 22010 are 3 car, 22011 - 22030 are 4 car, 22031 - 22040 are 5 car, 22041 - 22045 are 4 car, 22046 - 22063 are 3 car sets.

 

These are way too much trains, but if you don’t want ghost stations then we would need atleast 4 trains which could be
1. Class 29000
Used for commuter services from Connolly to Dundalk
2. A single DART Train
For stopper services between Connolly and Malahide
3. NIR Class 3000 or 4000
For commuter and sometimes express services between Belfast Central -> Newry/Dublin.
4. Lastly Enterprise
For express services between Dublin and Belfast. Also try putting this all in one thread.

 

should I redo it?

 

It's too late for that sadly, you've already suggested it but for future suggestions, my advice is to keep rolling stock to anything between 2-4 stock with up to 2 more as potential DLC as options if DTG were to release the route but you can rewrite it if you want, I'm nae stopping you from rewriting it but that's too much rolling stock for one suggestion, a tad too much

 

Excellent idea but the problem is going to be DTG knowing on how CAWS work the Republic of Ireland train protection system. The easy option is simply cut out the Republic of Ireland section Dublin to Dund due to it being CAWS. that leaves Belfast to Dundalk as the doable section since it uses the same automatic Warning system TPWS DSD and driver's reminder Appliance as a British route although set in 1.6m Irish Gauge track.

 

should I just request Belfast - Dundalk then?

 

Belfast to Newry or Dublin to Dundalk woul be more realistic

 

I did request Belfast - Dundalk in the forums

 

That can work because it's all AWS TPWS.

 

Okay
