Do we know if every traction is going to test Grand Central? ?

Seen the 2135 Belfast - Connolly last night (ICR 38) passing through Finaghy. Is the 2135 ex Belfast usually lightly loaded?? Looked quite empty.

Is the line closure from 1 June to 4 June still going ahead? Also… Saturday 6th July to Sunday 25th August 2024 The line between Portadown and Belfast will be closed to facilitate works associated with the construction and opening of the new Belfast Grand Central Station. During this period, trains will operate as normal between Dublin Connolly and Portadown only. Bus transfers will be in place between Newry and Belfast for customers travelling to/from Belfast. No, was in Belfast from 1730 to 1805.

Enlighten me!! Are DDs starting in GVS on 25 August or is there Mark 2 coaches going there??

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)?

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!

I thought 11.20 had gone into Platform 4?

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.
