The accelerated investment will enable Iarnród Éireann to deliver more capacity and decarbonisation benefits in advance of electrification of the extended DART+ network.
It said the new carriages will significantly enhance rail transport capacity, particularly to the expanding DART system in the Greater Dublin Area and Eastern region. Iarnród Eireann said the DART+ Programme will dramatically increase the number of people that can avail of a frequent, high-capacity rail service, increasing the number of people living within 1km of a DART station from circa 250,000 at present to 600,000 in future.
The BEMUs can operate in electric-only mode using overhead electric wires or, through the use of batteries, in battery-electric operation in other parts of the rail network, maximising flexibility and capacity, and helping to replace and decarbonise existing diesel-fleet operations.
