Brilliant the Buncrana crew of No 10 kept her spotless

Looks great

Superb one of the Meenglas nameplates now in Donegal Town

My own research suggests it was scrapped in 1968. Scrapmen were told not to scrap anything painted red but the Swilly busmen had painted Erne with green Swilly paint about 1965.

The Blue GMs being retained for future relay and ballast work only Not likely

Yes in those days flying was too expensive

50k per chemical toilet us a rough figure

In 2023 Translink.stated that the green Mk2s would need chemical toilets fitted soon!

Another factor for NIR trips is that the green Mk2s have not been on the mainline for 27 months now. Most of them have not left the carriage shed for 2 years now. Plus Translink do not allow the Blue GMs on charter trains Groups I know made enquiries but we're rebuffed

What a pity Erne was scrapped as it was painted in Swilly green

Have a photo of Phoenix in original condition
