Below is a video of the bicycle storage on new carriages being added to Irish Rails intercity and long-distance commuter railcar trains.Unlike the existing bicycle storage racks on these trains, the new carriages are will not be at the end of the railcar trainsets. The outside door is also marked with a bicycle logo.In its latest timetable update, Irish Rail said the carriages are being added to the following train routes:Newbridge/Hazelhatch to Connolly/Grand Canal Dock (Phoenix Park tunnel)Galway to Dublin HeustonLimerick to Dublin HeustonSligo to Dublin ConnollyWaterford/Carlow to Dublin HeustonTralee to Dublin HeustonWestport to Dublin HeustonThe company said: The expansion of the Intercity railcar fleet from 234 carriages to 275 carriages will lead to improved capacity on a number of existing services on the following routes. These improvements are being phased in between now and October as 41 new carriages are added to the fleet.The new space has flip down sears and no door between the multi-purpose area and the outer doors. The marked bicycle side will be the bookable space for bicycles, with trainsets also retaining the end carriages with the much disliked two-space bicycle racks.The unmarked multi-purpose space on the other side will be available for wheelchairs, bicycles and prams. Irish Rail previously told this website that people must wait with any bicycles left in the unmarked space which does not have a restraint to hold bicycles.The normal rules apply in terms of not bringing bicycles on board at peak times except for booked bicycles on Intercity trains. Both sides of the space have USB A sockets, although not the full plugs found on the rest of the carriage.For anybody who hasn't seen one yet, this is the new multi-purpose area on the new @IrishRail intercity and long-range commuter railcars pic.twitter.com/OG26sQE2F5 IrishCycle.com (@IrishCycle) August 20, 2024Images:If youre still unsure of the type of trains which are Intercity railcars, its these ones:The outside door is marked with a bicycle logo much like the door to the existing bicycle rack areaTheres easier access for bicycles to the outside of the train: Heres a person in the area for perspective:And a bicycle:Heres the safety belt for bicycles and USB slots the opposite side just has USB: A few other perspectives:
