If anyone is interested a pair of 111s are expected to leave YR at 11.32 today for Dundalk arriving at 15.45.

3006 worked the 16.50 Ex Dublin this evening

Is it still there?

Services expected to resume around 12pm > 22037 may work 1200 ? @hurricanemk1c 1150 may be ICR as normal, 1250 DD, 1350 DD? 1450 DD?

07:50 was cancelled Best bet is 1550 / 1650 @jhb171achill Please note, the #Portadown line will start to reopen from 10am this morning and Enterprise services will resume from 11am Please allow for knock on delay/disruption while services return to normal

3001+3002 stuck in Dublin Both Dublin ICRs appear to be in York Road?

You might need to wait a while; Train services will remain suspended for the remainder of the evening with a phased return to service expected from mid-day tomorrow (4th October). Local rail tickets will be accepted on bus services spkl.io/6002ApQEa

It would be simple enough for me

Rescheduled

And another day of disruption due to Storm Amy

Didnt hear but Bangor line was shut a good chunk of the afternoon

To sum up this week (so far) Monday: 0650 ex Dublin failed in Newry, 0740, 0850 & 0950 ex Dublin all terminated at Dundalk with buses to Belfast. 072 was sent to Newry to haul the failed set back to Dublin. 216 was also sent Light Engine to Newry but 072 had reached Newry first and so 216 was sent back to Belfast. The 1000 & 1100 ex Belfast were CAFs to Newry. Tuesday: The 1050 ex Dublin failed at Portadown, resulting in the 1200 ex Belfast (CAF) being terminated at Portadown and ran back to Belfast as the 1050. The DD set then worked the 1200 ex Belfast (from Portadown), 1450 ex Dublin, 1800 ex Belfast and 2050 ex Dublin. 1850 ex Dublin over 60 late into Belfast. Wednesday: 1000 ex Belfast, 1250 ex Dublin & 1600 ex Belfast worked by ICR off 0740. DD off 0650 failed and worked 1100. A CAF set worked the 1850. Today: 0600/0800 ex Belfast and 0850/1050 ex Dublin 3 car CAFs

1050 + 1200 swapped out

15:50 I suspect will be an Enterprise 207 failed this morning on the 0650 ex Dublin at Newry. The set was towed back to Dublin by 072 (216 had been sent but 072 reached Newry first)

I heard 207

CHAOS!

Does anyone know the whereabouts of 781 atm? See there is Ballast cleaning this weekend between Mullingar and Boyle? So was wondering if itll be out

As far as I know the arrangement was always due to be 9001+9003 hauled by 206+207, while 9002+4 by 208+209. But strange if you ask me!
