I'm enjoying my leafing through the book on this sunny Sunday morning, especially drawn to page 23 and a picture of A class 003 with a short train of fuel tanks and bubbles, inspiration.
Plus the inside back cover mentions a forthcoming volume 4, in 2026. Excellent
It's about time but you think they'd got the train running on the right line at least
If that's the airport off to the right that train is heading to Bangor!
I have the first 2 IRR vols and they are excllent, just saw IRR vol 3 is now in print so that's been duly ordered

Ta, it was either Downpatrick diesel day today or exhibition tomorrow, I chose the former, sorry to miss the exhibition, there's so few in this neck of the woods and they're handy for stocking up on modelling stuff, next time.
if it's a 3-car CAF it'll be no better than a cattle wagon
A week or so back I was on a northbound 16.50 and it was full DD Enterprise but still standing room only by the time we keft Connolly and only really thinned out in my coach at Newry. I normally try to avoid the 16.50 as it is basically a commuter service for Drogheda and Dundalk and so gets overloaded. Plus, from the north I can't book seats for the Enterprise unless I go 1st class... though at the mo it looks like even 1st class will be no guarantee of getting a seat
That's a good haul ^^^
I can definitely recommend the "Rails Through..." series, especially if you have 1970s/1980s interests, lovely colour photos and some very useful station track diagrams.
