Evening all, What started out as a minor detour on the way home from work, turned out to be a cross country trek across the Irish Midlands to the west side of the River Shannon at Athlone. All to capture 077 hard at work on the delayed 1330 North Wall - Ballina IWT Liner. http://smu.gs/PVcN6D Enjoy, The Wanderer.

Afternoon all, Saturday morning was looking promising with the 0800 Heuston - Cork rumoured to be 2x4ICR, the first passenger operation of a 8 car service and the 0700 Tralee - Heuston to be 5+4ICR from Mallow to Heuston. Only the first happened as the 9ICR wouldn't couple at Mallow. Also, 077 was stabled at Portarlington with the Autoballasters.
