From the RPSI website:
We are delighted to announce a very special diesel railtour to celebrate 30 years of the 201 class locomotives.
The tour will depart from Dublin Heuston with an initial destination of Kildare. From Kildare the tour will return to Dublin with photo stops planned at Hazelhatch and Kishoge, before taking the Phoenix Park line to Connolly. The destination for the railtour is Rosslare Europort.
This will be the first visit of a 201 locomotive on passenger duties south of Arklow and a rare loco hauled visit to Rosslare Europort Station. Photo stops will be made in both directions to mark this special occasion. There will be an option to take a break at Wexford or Rosslare Strand, or continue to the end of the line at Rosslare Europort.
