I was on the 1520 Connolly to Belfast today formed by 231 + 9004. It arrived at 1618, and left at 1622 (6 mins late) but we took just 68 minutes from Dundalk to Belfast arriving at 1730 (5 mins early)!
 

231 must be one of the fast locos.

On 22038 on 10.35 ex Belfast.

Where was service D820 gone? (17:13 Pearse/Newry)?

ICR covering the ex Dublin 0735 for the next 14 weeks 

Yes, I believe it is the 0735, 1320 & 1900 ex Dublin and the 1035, 1605 & 2136 (2128 on Saturdays) ex Belfast (Mon - Sat) and the 1000 & 1600 ex Dublin & the 1305 & 1905 ex Belfast on Sundays.

By the way, does anyone know if the 06:35 ex Newry and 17:13 ex Pearse will be affected during the July and August line closure?

On Sunday night the following happened:

The 16:00 ex Dublin was almost THREE HOURS LATE into Belfast, signalling issues at Portadown.

The 17:05 ex Belfast was TWO HOURS LATE 

The 19:05 ex Belfast was likely about 2 hours late.

Standing in Finaghy in the rain waiting for the 10:35 ex Belfast Enterprise to pass through (ICR set).

I will have an ICR to Dundalk on Saturday!!!

Enterprise today

0650 9004+8208

0735 207+9002

0800 9003+228

Set 9003 is behaving well. For now!

At one stage yesterday you had the failed DD set in.platform 2 with the 11.20 from Dublin in platform 1. The replacement Caf was in platform 1. Chaos staff blaming work at GvS for our one hour delay 

I thought 11.20 had gone into Platform 4?

3002+3005 arriving in Lanyon Place Platform 1 yesterday off 1520 Enterprise

We left at 13.40 with 3002 and 3005 instead!

So I believe!!
 

Also can you confirm if it’s true about a 111 going to GVS tonight?
 

@airfixfan

Due to a train fault, the 12:35 from #Belfast to #Dublin departed 70 minutes late.

This service is being operated by a non-Enterprise train. There will be no first class available and catering is reduced.

29101 worked the 07:35 ex Dublin today

Is the 11:20 ex-Connolly a DD or a railcar this week?

Booked for DD.

During this week, what is De Deitrich and what is railcars? Planning to go north to have a last spin to Gt Vic St - but I'm not going in a railcar!

Railcar subs do not start until next week 

1120 ex Dublin being removed from service upon arrival in Belfast.

So as a result,  part of or all of the 1405 & 2005 ex Belfast & 1650 & 1900 ex Dublin will be non - Enterprise.

Yes complete closure from Belfast to Lisburn during school holidays

We shall see what happens for most of July and August Enterprise only going as far as Portadown 

Trains from Moira to Portadown still running?

Planning two trips - Belfast to Cork via Dublin, 28 August. Then possibly Belfast to Dublin, 21 September? Could be the last time I get an Enterprise out of Lanyon Place.

Last Enterprise most likely the 1905 ex Belfast on 6/10/24.

See aswell for next week certain Enterprise are booked to stop at Lisburn 

@airfixfan Do you know if there will be bus or train from Moira to Portadown on 11 May?

@hurricanemk1c you wouldn’t happen to have any info would you?

Hi, apparently in 2012 an ICR made it to the Antrim Branch.

Does anyone have any photos or info on this?
