Enterprise express Passes Through Drogheda Railway Station

Enterprise is the name of the cross-border inter-city train service between Dublin Connolly in the Republic of Ireland and Belfast Central in Northern Ireland and is jointly operated by Iarnród Éireann (IE) and Northern Ireland Railways (NIR). Each Push-pull trainset consists of eight coaches and a 201 Class locomotive. Originally, the 28 coaches were delivered as four sets of seven, but entered service as three sets of eight. The coaches were manufactured by De Dietrich Ferroviaire and ownership is jointly shared between both operators, however coach maintenance is provided by NIR and the locomotives are maintained by IE. The service has had reliability issues with these locomotives, which provides head end power to the train. The stress this places on the engines has led to Enterprise-liveried 201s being swapped with non-Enterprise 201s in order to minimise wear from operating in this mode. As a consequence, two further 201 Class locomotives have been allocated to Enterprise. Several recent press reports have claimed that NIR & IE plan to introduce a new hourly service.
