Earlier this evening when I tried to log on the whole site seemed to be down completely, with a message saying something to the effect that service would be resumed shortly. I logged on again about an hour ago and it seemed 100% as i9t had been in the past. Maybe there was some sort of glitch in Googlestan that's been sorted out? -

Livery note: In departmental use, most ex-carriages placed into such use prior to 1964 were plain DARK green, sometimes with normal black ends, sometimes red. The red ones tended to fade to an orangey colour or a salmony-pink over time; but were initially painted red. Markings varied. Lining was absent in all cases. Unlike any other green vehicles of any sort, lettering was often WHITE (like wagons), not the normal eau-de-nil (pale green). After 1964 any other, or repaints of older ones, were plain wagon grey sides and ends, with the normal black roof. Markings varied, as did positions of logos, if any. Barely any two were exactly alike. Again, sometimes they had grey ends (a change from the universally applied black for the ends of any type of CIE coaches in any livery), but occasionally red. Lettering was white. This, of course, is relevant to any coaches taken into departmental use, ex-MGWR six-wheelers included. Waterford painted at least one old GSWR bogie (used as a crew van in PW trains) in brown, and Inchicore did another likewise. An old purpose-built PW van, or possibly two of them, based in Cork in the 1950s also were painted brown (at a time when literally nothing else was). I remember seeing the latter pass throuigh Kildare on a PW train o0ne day when I was out to get a photo of the first trial run of the big ammonia wagons. -
Seems quite solid for me now so keen to hear feedback from those who were seeing slowdown.
