  1. CIE published "Cuisle Na Tire", Vol 1 no 1 January 1945, the last one I have is May 1949 "CIE Weekly News" seems to have been running at the same time, Vol 3 No 2 is 11th June 1948, , vol 5 no 4 is August 27th 1948 and Vol 10 no 8 is 21st October 1949, how they got to Vol 16 on your scan of the Enterprise in 1950 suggests strange numbering! (I attach a scan of CIE Weekly News Vol 5 no 4, August 27th 1948 which states under the header... and issued as a supplement to CIE readers of Cuisle Na Tire.) "The Link" appeared in 1950?, I have 1952 issues Vol 3 no 1 January 4th, No 2 January 11th, No 3 January 18th "Nuacht" was launched in October 1960, I think it ran to around 2003? I'm fairy sure there are copies in the IRRS at Heuston.
  2. No. 81 Carrickfergus Castle was hired by the GN on 1st May 1952, until replaced by no 72 on 12th March 1954 which stayed until 29th September 1954, working mostly Belfast to Clones.
  3. The last WTT to have "FTD" to Derry was dated 3rd June 1996

  8. A very poor, and vague article, lots of errors... why oh why did the author or the editors of British railways Illustrated Magazine let this one through without somebody with the most basic knowledge check it first?
