A number of test trains operated on the Sunday and Monday to test the routes.Sunday testing took place on the Foynes Line as far as Kilnockin Level Crossing using set 28003. Testing also took place in Limerick Station area using set 28009. On Monday, the test train for the Foynes Line was allocated for 28009 and after a 5 hour journey it reached Foynes becoming the first train to reach the town in 24 years.
