context_page_description: A wide variety of hauled coaches have been used on the railways of Ireland. This page lists all those since 1945.
context_section_description: 67 Mark 4 coaches were delivered in 2006 from CAF
  Although the name "Mark 4" has entered common usage, these trains have no connection to the British Rail Mark 4.
  
  Though capable of 200 km/h (125 mph) operation, this higher speed would require both track & signal system upgrade and the provision of a faster locomotive than the currently used 201 class. A possibility being considered is the replacement of the existing 201 with two power cars, one of which would be converted from the existing Generator Control Car.
  Seating capacity is 422 (8-car set) and the train is fully accessible to mobility-impaired customers.
  Capable of 10-car operation, each in-service set currently comprises 7 or 8 cars:
  Generator Control Car – GC (4001–4008) (or DVT) (no seating)
  One First Class – FC (4201–4208) (44 seats + 1 wheelchair)
  One Catering Car – CC (4401–4408) (28 seats)
  Four Standard Class – SC (35 in 4101–4143) (69 seats + 1 wheelchair)
  One Standard End – SCE, (8 in 4101–4143, all numbers ending with 5 or 0), with retractable buffers & drop-head buckeye coupling at locomotive end.
  Length between couplers – 23.66 m (77 ft 7.5 in)
  Height – 3.85 m (12 ft 7.5 in)
  Width – 2.85 m (9 ft 4 in)
  As of 2016, six sets are operated on the Dublin-Cork route's clockface timetable. On some off-peak services smaller 22000 Class sets are used since larger sets are expensive to operate.
