[@irishrailwayvideos9747]

Do you know why they withdrew the 8200s from service

[@Fcutdlady]

According to Wikipedia and I qoute "The five members of this class spent long periods out of service, the most recent being from summer 2007 until March 2008. Following a brief return to service of all coaches with the exception of 8204/8404, all units were withdrawn from service yet again, with Iarnród Éireann citing frequent breakdowns and small seating as their reason for early withdrawal" according to the same article the Darts had the pantographs removed and were put up for sale but there were no takers, most likely due to the diffrence in track gauge. Ours as you know is 5'3, the UKs is 4'8 abd a half. Not sure what size track gauge is used in Europe.

[@peteschneider2241]

Nearly all of West Europe is 4 ft 8 1/2 in, but I think those trains are smaller than the ones you see in most European countries.
