If it got out of Connolly!!!

According to Translink, 0735 Ex Dublin & 1035 Ex Belfast are back to DD tomorrow. But the real question is. Will it last?

Sunday 26/11/2023 The 1600 Connolly - Belfast & 1905 Belfast - Connolly were an Irish Rail set, unknown what DMU.

Due to an earlier #TrainFault the following trains will operate as non Enterprise services this evening: 16:05 from Belfast, 16:50 from Dublin, 18:05 & 20:05 from Belfast, 20:50 from Dublin.

Due to a train fault 16:05 Lanyon Place to Dublin Connolly is being delayed at Lanyon Place and is now expected to be 40 minutes late. Will be formed of 3 coaches. First class not available. Catering is not available. Another failure it seems 13:20 Ex Dublin failed in Belfast so a 3 car NIR CAF set will work the 16:05 Ex Belfast and 19:00 Ex Dublin.

The following cross border train services operating today (25/11/23) will be formed of 6 carriages with no 1st class and limted catering facilities available on board. 06:50 Belfast Lanyon Place to Dublin Connolly 09:30 Dublin Connolly to Belfast Lanyon Place 12:35 Belfast Lanyon Place to Dublin Connolly 15:20 Dublin Connolly to Belfast Lanyon Place 18:05 Belfast Lanyon Place to Dublin Connolly 20:50 Dublin Connolly to Belfast Lanyon Place

A CAF on the Enterprise today on the 06.50 ex Belfast and return on 09.30 ex Dublin due to a train failure.

Wednesday 22/11/2023 The 1805 Belfast - Connolly & 2050 Connolly - Belfast were a 6 car NIR CAF set.

3 car?

ICR set 22036 on the 10:00 Connolly/Belfast Enterprise Service.

Most likely ICR 36. Expect traffic after NY to be light.

Keep us posted!

Most likely railcar (ICR) which is due to be on until the 26th November. Well, most likely an ICR. If there is an issue with the ICR then the DD will be called in, if that has an issue then IE will have to provide a 29000 set.

Seen 227 & 9003 on the 13:20 Enterprise Ex Dublin.
