Anyone who has taken the Dublin Bus 747 to the airport and sat on the upper deck will have seen Irish Rail carriages parked in sidings. The carriages are destined for the scrap heap. Already a number of out-of-sevice coaches have been broken up.
In Berlin the rail authority that runs the S Bahn has made a decision to refurbish carriages built in the 1970s. The company, Deutsche Bahn, has decided to rebuild/recycle, rather than purchase new coaches as it works out far cheaper.
The works are being carried out in Berlin but becasue so many coaches are being refurbished some of the work is being done in Leipzig.
Why did Irish Rail not think of doing something similar?
