For the Dublin Rivera 85 should be chimney first towards Wicklow, there is no turntable in Bray or Wicklow so it wold then be tender first towards Dublin.
July Sea Breeze was due to be 4 but may end up being 85.

Many Thanks

Are you still looking for books? I have a bag in my spare room, may be some of use
Indeed the RPSI are always looking for donations, if you cant make it to Connolly like jhb suggested feel free to drop a pm and we may be able to arrange a collection (we have agents all over the country)

85 is too heavy to operate over the Limerick Junction to Waterford line and 131 requires approval from the CRR so the Sunday will be 071 operated.

To make your choice even more difficult the details of the October tour have just been announced with something special
QuoteDIESEL RAILTOUR ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Continuing with the successful operation of diesel railtours to raise funds for the restoration of B134 to the mainline, we are pleased to announce the next fundraising railtour.
Scheduled for Saturday October 5th, 'The Cobh Rambler' railtour will be another first for diesel enthusiasts. Starting from Dublin Heuston station the train will first make its way down the mainline to Cork hauled by a mixed pair made up of an 071 and 201 locomotive operating in multiple. In Cork, the 071 will go light engine to Cobh with the train following on behind hauled by the 201. In Cobh the 071 will join the rear of the train for the run first of all back to Mallow (via the station avoiding line in Cork) and then down the Kerry road to Killarney. The loco will then run around for the return to Mallow. While all this is going on, the 201 will return light engine from Cobh to Cork and will exchange with another member of the class. This locomotive will then go forward to Mallow and wait for the train to return from Killarney. The 201 will then join the head of the train with the 071 for the return to Dublin Heuston once again operating in multiple.
Tickets for this tour will certainly be popular and will be on sale soon via the usual online and postal booking options. Tickets for this tour will be €70/£63 plus online booking fees.
The RPSI would like to acknowledge the great assistance from all departments of Iarnrod Eireann for making this railtour possible.

Anyone in the know, know what the locos are for the double head? Last I heard, it was to be 078+082 leading out of Connolly.
The double is still planned for 078 + 082

Sorry I have not updated here in a while, things in the real world kind of took over for a while like they have a tendency to do.
Could one of the mods change the title to something like "RPSI Operations" and I will continue to post here instead opening a new thread.On 3/19/2019 at 1:48 PM, Garfield said:Is it not a bit presumptuous to cancel the move when an extension to the Brexit process has yet to be approved?
Agreements have been reached outside of Brexit that allow the continued use of 85 south of the boarder for now.

Any plans for RPSI to release the second batch of Blue'n'Cream Craven coaches including the Bar car (i.e. to go with the sets RPSI sold last year)?
There are plans for a set of 3 standards and then we will see what happens about the bar / diner at a later date but the new tooling makes them a more expensive prospect.
