  1. Part of the station wall cladding fell.onto the track and platforms a few weeks ago over a weekend!
  2. Or what the final.bill will be? At present piling work going on the station approach!
  3. No timetables yet for Translink so use Irish Rail website instead which shows a 2 hourly Enterprise from Grand Circus from October 13th. The hourly Enterprise in theory!starts from October 29th
  4. Like 109 the 0-6-2ST?
  5. The shed seen at Letterkenny now a car park at the shopping centre in Letterkenny!
  6. On behalf of the Donegal Railway Heritage Museum I would be morec than interested in that article and replying to your questions?
  7. No hourly Enterprise from October 7th. Translink cannot provide enough buses whilst Grand Central cannot accept trains. The Saga continues
  8. Would teach Translink management a lesson or 2!
  9. No bus this morning from Belfast to Newry to connect with the first Enterprise to Dublin! Correction the 7.56 from Newry started from Dumdalk today
  10. Translink cannot give a date yet when they met Irish Rail.yesterday about hourly Enterprise from October 7th. Usually elf and safety unspecified were blamed! Asked for a date Translink.were vague
  11. Looks more like a summer special from Rossknowlaghl to Strabane about to run round
  12. 231 was the loco with a DD set not cleaned and covered in graffiti!
  13. Love the top photo will be in the station building in the Museum for 2 days this week!
  14. DD set visited GC for the first time yesterday morning. The platform clearances in platforms 5 to 8 were assessed as being too tight for passenger use! The Saga continues
  15. 201 and DDs clearance tests at GC this morning. Problems identified with platforms 5 to 8. The Saga continues
  16. Great stuff digging out more photos of the Ballymena and Larne for another project. Showed some of these photos to galteemore senior recently
  17. None of the new retail units in GC open. 60% of bus stands open. No place to leave bikes ans no taxi drop off point. Did I mention no trains 2? Progress!
  18. Chris Conway claimed on radio that it would cost 50M£ to extend the Glider about 409 yards to serve GC .Currently only 16 bus stands out of 26 in use. No retail apart from a pop up coffee stand . No drop off point for taxis,noi cycle storage not convenient and still no trains!
  19. Looks like the issue is solved but Translink.saying nothing at present
  20. Come October if no GC they will just return to Lanyon!
  21. Translink have already asked but no spare ICRs available for the Enterprise
  22. Expect an update on the 201 problem at GC later today
  23. Train service going to Lanyon according to Irish Rail. External investigation to GC rail fiasco underway now
  24. At least they would pass the restrictions imposed on axle loading but are they passed for DDs to Dublin?
