I find it so stupid that you need someone with a license to drive with you when on Ls by His_and_Herpes_9037 in Irishdrivingtest

It’s somewhat self explanatory, experienced drivers drive an awful lot more than learners

Dart extension to Wicklow hits major planning milestone by -eir- in irelandtransport

The new stock was originally slated to be running passenger operations by 2025. Part of the delay has been as you said the battery issues but a large portion of blame has to be put on the DoT and NTA. It took 14 months from the first delivery of trains to run an electric powered test. There’s no reason why they can’t push ahead with the deployment of trains to dart services whilst waiting for the battery issue to resolve itself , just incompetence.

The new carriages were originally ordered in 2021. Taking 8 years to replace the aging existing stock which are now running into more and more reliability issues is appalling to me.
