The CDR stock at Strabane were just beside the perimeter of the Army base in Strabane and about 400 yards from the border When Dr Cox paid a visit in late 1970s to the stock he had to hide as the local IRA fired a few rounds at the Army base!

Northern Ireland lignite traffic
airfixfan replied to Bóithre Iarainn's question in Questions & Answers
Yes that was the plan to use ignite not coal for the new Kilroot Power Station. They even planned to reopen the line from Monkstown to Greenisland -
Was planning on doing the tour to go to for a rare run from Dublin behind 112. Will give it a miss now but do a few tours from Dublin later this summer.
-
And two free IRM A Class as well 2!
-
Have used the money saved for Dublin Hotels for two nights to book a holiday. Here 112 needs repairs and until then restricted to 40mph by Irisn Rail
-
Glad I did not pay 600 Euros for 2 nights in Dublin as 112 is now replaced by two IE 071s instead due to issues with 112!
