Odds are a 2x3 NIR CAF.

Heard that a physical incident took place onboard a DART hence the hold up.

“We are now approaching [station]”

Yes indeed. I unfortunately missed the first run by about 3 minutes!!! But did see the return at Mossley West.

Yes it will start in PD

Still broken. Due to an earlier train fault, there is a change in facilities on the 13:06 from #Portadown to #Dublin Connolly. The train will be formed of 6 coaches. First class & catering not available.

Any ETA for removal of Boyne Bridge?

All back to DD for a change!

Hourly service still commencing October 7th? Or will that be six weeks later. Six weeks after September 22/23; November 3.

Isn’t the line to Belfast reopening that day?

I would expect one diagram come next week to temporarily be a railcar.

I was informed that the line will reopen from 26 Aug.

Fgs.

Not Enterprise related, but…

One does not simply think that it as silly that Irish Rail never gauged the Mk4s to Belfast. They would be smart for the hourly service? Mk4s could be used to boost hourly services on Sundays. NOTE: No, I’m not off on a rant. Just explaining… @jhb171achill hypothetically, what would you do if you saw a Mark 4 on the Enterprise taking you up north?

Also… @jhb171achill 0550 and 0750 ex Dublin will be ICRs. The 0650 ex Dublin will be DD. EX Belfast 0602 will be C3K while the 0702 and 0802 will be DD. 1650 ex Dublin stables Belfast. 1750, ICR, returns as 2102. 1702 ex Belfast, ICR, stables Dublin. C3K works 1802 ex Belfast and back on the 2050.

I was at Portadown yesterday to be greeted by a failed Enterprise set and an ICR (which I videoed). Was going to take a peek on the inside of the DD but my concerns about being found onboard a failed train prevented me from doing so PS: the door was opened on 9213.

Due to an earlier train fault, the 14:39 Portadown to Dublin Connolly and the 16:50 Dublin Connolly to Portadown will be formed of 6 coaches. First class not available. Catering is reduced.

?

By any chance do you know anything about GC?

I am hearing unconfirmed reports that Grand Central won’t open until 22nd September?

A HST for sale? Count me in!
