Do you know if Grand Central opens on 25 August? @airfixfan

ICR the last ex Belfast? ?

IR 29000.. Banger is a nickname for the 29s

Last night the 19:00 Connolly - Belfast was +42mins late into Belfast, anti social behaviour at Drogheda. Unfortunately the return 21:28 from Belfast struck an animal between Dundalk and Drogheda. Eventual arrival time in Dublin was 00:40hrs. Expect there to be a possible banger on the 10am ex Connolly… @jhb171achill

or a 29 on the Beller?

Hi, does anyone have any photos or videos of the Enterprise on the Antrim Branch or at Antrim itself? They made a trip there in 2013 and 2015.

Grand

Anything? @airfixfan

Okay no worries

Okay

Think so... Same ones on the 85/8600.

My understanding is that the 2135 x Belfast on 2/7/24 will be the last Enterprise to leave Lanyon Place and the 2050 x Dublin arriving will be the last Enterprise to arrive.

Does anyone know what sets did the 1650 x Dublin & 1805 x Belfast today?

Last night the 1650 ex Dublin was 65 to 70 minutes late, trespass incident. Similarly the 1605 ex Belfast was 45 minutes late and the 1900 ex Dublin was 30 minutes late. All because of a baseball bat wielding nut job at Gormanston!

Is 29121 at present the only 29 with the new PIS?

1405 ex Belfast 60 late train fault. Irish Rail Railcar on 1650 as a result

Expect a possible C3K sub tomorrow...

For anyone wondering, a 3 piece NIR C4K railcar did the 1650xDublin/1805xBelfast to/from Portadown.
