The desks in this training room are shaped and easily rearranged using various subcomponents. The size and layout of the desks mean there is lots of desk surface for additional book work encouraging either individual study or group work. The positioning of PCs at angles limits unintentional eye-to-eye contact with other users but does not isolate the user. Colours are muted and coordinated throughout the space. Full carpeting helps absorb excess sound. Chairs have wheels helping with manoeuvrability.
What if you have the wires, a socket but no plug?
In another hotel we found a socket and light switch right underneath the shower...

Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail) 22000 Class InterCity Railcar (ICR), built by Hyundai Rotem, as there’s no specific "Class 29" associated with Irish Rail in available records. The 22000 Class, often referred to as the ICR, is a diesel multiple unit (DMU) that has been a cornerstone of Irish Rail’s InterCity and commuter services since its introduction in 2007.
The 22000 Class ICR was manufactured by Hyundai Rotem of South Korea, in partnership with Mitsui of Japan and Tokyu Car Corporation, which supplied the bogies, at a cost of approximately €400 million. The fleet was introduced to replace older locomotive-hauled carriages, such as the British Rail Mark 2 and Mark 3, and began service between 2007 and 2011. The initial order of 120 vehicles was expanded to 234 by 2008, with an additional 41 intermediate cars ordered in 2019 for delivery between 2021 and 2023. These railcars operate at a maximum speed of 160 km/h (100 mph) and serve most InterCity routes from Dublin (except Dublin-Cork and Dublin-Belfast, which also use other rolling stock) and commuter services to destinations like Portlaoise, Carlow, Athlone, Dundalk, Kildare, Longford, and Mallow. The fleet is configured in 3, 4, and 5-car sets to provide flexibility for varying passenger demands, with a total of 63 sets (28 three-car, 25 four-car, and 10 five-car) as of recent updates.
The 22000 Class features modern amenities designed for passenger comfort, including air-conditioning, LED destination signs, power sockets, and USB ports added during a 2019-2022 refurbishment that also replaced cloth seats with leather to reduce maintenance costs. Each train includes a multipurpose area with flip-up seats and bicycle storage, though the newer intermediate cars lack toilets, as existing carriages already have them. The railcars are equipped with open gangways for easy movement between coaches, fixed tables, and non-reclining seats in standard class. Catering services, once provided by Rail Gourmet, were discontinued in 2020, but a contactless-only catering service was introduced on the Dublin-Cork route in 2023. The trains have faced challenges, including corrosion damage on two units (22010 and 22011) during delivery, which were replaced by Rotem, and incidents like deer strikes and a collision with a timber train in 2025, causing minor to significant damage to specific units.
Operationally, the 22000 Class has transformed Irish Rail’s network by enabling faster, more frequent services compared to the older locomotive-hauled stock. For example, Dublin to Galway and Limerick journeys now take around 2 hours 45 minutes, with improved timetables since the ICR’s introduction. The railcars are maintained at the Portlaoise Traincare Depot, where Irish Rail provided access for detailed modeling by Irish Railway Models for a 2024 OO-gauge release. Efforts to improve fuel efficiency include engine shutdown modifications in 2008 and a trial of ZF transmissions in 2018, targeting up to 19% fuel savings. The 22000 Class remains a critical asset for Irish Rail, supporting both InterCity and commuter services while aligning with plans for network expansion under the National Development Plan 2021-2030.

Collaborative work is encouraged through the use of booths or 'pods' each with a central table, laptops and a large 48 inch plasmas screen. Lighting can be controlled in the space by students and it is backlit to avoid glare on screens. The pods have some soundproofing qualities ensuring groups working in adjoining pods don't disturb each other.
Specialist equipment is made available to users of this science lab. Tables are arranged so as to allow group collaborative work. Electricity points are located at convenient points. A white board and a ceiling mounted projector are available. Artificial lighting supplements the natural light in the room. The seating offered suits the needs of the users and the dimensions of the worktables.
Whilst on the bus I saw that for some strange reason the seat backs had pairs of blue lights. I thought that they could be some sort of safety device, a bus variant of aircraft emergency lighting, although in that case surely they should have been on the floor.
It is only when I had returned home and watched my vidoes I realised that there is writing and that these are actually seat back USB power sockets!

The PC desk in the centre of this Skills for Life room houses PC monitors which can be lowered into the desk space providing a flat work space as an alternative. The room also includes other information technology equipment such as a data projector and an interactive smart board along side traditional teaching aids. The furniture in the room is arranged to allow lots of accessibility e.g. wheelchairs.
In this teaching room there is a mix of traditional work space tables in the centre of the room and PC workstations positioned around the outside. Electricty points are located in the floorspace which can be linked to PCs on the main tables through cable holes giving flexibility in the space.
Students are able to choose their preferred learning environment, here there are soft chairs, low coffee tables, overhead lighting in the form of individual umbrella style units. Some of the soft seating has electricity points embedded into them for using laptops or other electronic equipment. Extensive views are visible outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The external area has been block paved and landscaped with specially chosen trees and low growing plants. Electricity points are also located in the floor space for users who wish to sit at one of the small round tables. Abstract artwork adds bright fresh splashes of colour.
In this flexible teaching and learning space up to three separate groups of students can be taught here. This space could accommodate one tutor or more for 'buddy' teaching sessions. Students could also be involved in giving presentations to groups of students. The image shows the different electronic smart boards and data projectors together with dry wipe boards and tables set up for collaborative face-to-face work or for activities with the static PCs.
This image displays the use of desks within the 'Base' area of the space. Students can speak to staff from different services. Different coloured lighting is used underneath the table to indicate its use at different times.
A mix of furniture types caters for different working styles in this area of the library. Overall it is a comfortable setting with soft furnishings and low tables but includes a variety of table shapes and sizes with computer chairs. The environment is suitable for solo and group work and is easily re-configurable to suit particular requirements as they arise. Full carpeting helps absorb sound.

A variety of seating styles and locations are available for users of the Learning Grid. Electricity points are located in the floor space adding flexibility to the area.
This visually stimulating and inspiring area has been designed to maximise the student experience. Group work areas consist of booths or 'pods' each containing essential IT equipment for group collaborative project work involving fellow students and external partners. Lighting is fully controlled by users of each pod, and heating and ventilation is carefully controlled providing a pleasant working environment. Drinks and snacks are available with no restriction on consumption in the pods (special measures have been taken to protect electrical points from accidental liquid spillages).
Free standing electronic smartboards (cleverboard) and whiteboards, accessible electricity points and portable furniture make this space ideal for self directed private study. The tables have a hole in the centre to pass cables through making the table less congested.
The interactive whiteboard can be used to play back DVD or VHS material during a teaching session. Round tables are more practical for collaborative activity.

There are ten booths or 'pods' in this group working space; two larger booths for eight students and the remainder for six plus a tutor. Booths contain a central table, laptops and tablet PCs plus a large plasma screen used for displaying students documents or a Smartboard. Back and top lighting is controlled by dimmer switches.
The wide open feel to this space is seen here. The room is fully flexible through the use of wheeled and portable furniture but it does not feel temporary. Lots of bins have been provided as has a water cooler and paper cups. Large video screens provide colour, interest and information.
The first of a fleet of state-of-the-art new trains which will transform rail travel in the south-west and Wales was unveiled today (30 June 2016) in a ceremony attended by the Department for Transport.
Great Western Railway (GWR) introduced the new train by running a special service to celebrate 175 years of the opening of the Great Western Main Line.
The Class 800 train, specially designed and built by Hitachi for the government’s £5.7 billion InterCity Express Programme (IEP) will generate over 700 direct jobs and support thousands in the supply chain.
