The 2700 and 2750 Classes (nicknamed "Sparrows" [Spanish Arrows]) were two related types of diesel multiple unit operated by Iarnród Éireann.
The 2700 Class units were 2-car sets; 25 cars were built by GEC Alsthom in 1997 and 1998, and began entering service in December 1998.
From July 2004 to April 2005 they were used in six-piece sets on the Dublin-Rosslare InterCity services, before being replaced by newer units.
In 2010, Iarnród Éireann began major overhauls of the 2700 and 2750 Classes, the most prominent feature of which was the removal of the end gangways, which had been unused for some time.
[5] Irish Rail would approve the scrapping of the fleet in August 2023, although it is being investigated whether 2751 may be repaired and moved to Portlaoise to be used as a shunter.
