Most schools return week beginning 02 September 2024. So a sign of things to come? Calculated it will be a 16 week closure May - September. @airfixfan yes?

Hi, does anyone know where is the best place to find Northern Ireland Railways / Irish Rail Models? I’m looking for some in OO Gauge. Many thanks in advance.

10 May to 01 September or so?

216 on 1235 Belfast - Connolly.

Does anyone know how long the route from Lanyon Place to Dundalk is? I can never find a definite answer.

So with that being said, is the line expected to reopen briefly in June?

For how long?? In that case I have decided to push my Dublin trip forward to either 20 April or 04 May. @airfixfan confirm the line will eventually reopen?

Any disruption likely for 25 May??

Indeed - I have only counted three substitutes this year so far 17/02/2024 0735 ex Dublin 22003 empty to Dublin 17/02/2024 1035 ex Belfast 3002+3003 empty to Belfast 26/02/2024 1035 ex Belfast & 1320 ex Dublin 3004+3005

30 March - 03 April line closure Belfast / Portadown 03 April - 07 April line closure Belfast / Lisburn There’s not another line closure is there?

Atleast it was an 8 piece set…

When was the 29k sub for the Enterprise?

So if I go on my trip to Dublin (25th May) can I expect… Train to go straight from Adelaide to City Hospital?

I am planning a trip to Cork over the summer, is it possible to get from Belfast - Connolly - Heuston - Cork? I know the Enterprise is Belfast - Connolly and LUAS to Heuston but how much is first class for those two trips (Belfast - Connolly & Heuston - Cork)?

I am planning a trip… Belfast - Cork… will I get a DD, C3K, ICR or a 29K to Dublin?

Due to a train fault the 16:05 from Lanyon Place to #Dublin Connolly has been delayed at Newry is now 40mins late. How reliable is this info?

So on 14/03/2023, the 1605 ex Belfast failed at Dundalk, resulting in a 29000 working it from Dundalk, a 29000 on the 1900 ex Dublin to Dundalk and a CAF from Dundalk… One year later, on 14/03/2024 16:05 Lanyon Place to Dublin Connolly due 18:17 16:05 Lanyon Place to Dublin Connolly due 18:17 is being delayed at Newry and is now expected to be 25 minutes late. This is due to a train fault.

Update: 20:50 Connolly to Belfast departed Connolly approximately 50 minutes delayed due to a technical issue on the train.

Update: 20:50 Connolly to Belfast is held in Connolly due to a technical issue on the train. Crews are working to have this train depart Connolly as soon as possible. Update to follow.

The train is approaching 30 minutes delayed… Do not be surprised if it is replaced by a unit. Even if it is, the 2050 xDublin can only be an Irish Rail set to Drogheda as the 2005 xBelfast will most likely be used to form it Drogheda - Belfast. This could mean a railcar on the 0735 x Dublin and 1035 x Belfast tomorrow.

19:00 Dublin Connolly to Lanyon Place due 21:05 19:00 Dublin Connolly to Lanyon Place due 21:05 has been delayed at Newry and is now 21 minutes late. This is due to being delayed in Irish Rail.

I’m planning to head to Dublin on 25th May!!! @NIRCLASS80 what dates are that line closure?
