    In 1989 whilst Whitla Street was closed and before Cultra was built some ex CDR items were on loan to Foyle Road such as Trailer 3 and Blanche Witham Street

    Note John that the 2nd vehicle ex DBST No 3 is still in original CDR livery at that stage

    Victoria Road has the station building in good condition and well.incorporated in business premises. The former goods buildings and other railway infrastructure are still there after 66 years. Some of these were protected by listed building status. This housing application first made in 2014 and refused more than once Then Derry City Council applied to get some of the station buildings delisted a few years back and achieved this despite local opposition. Now 3 years after that this horrible and crammed housing development got approval on appeal. As they say about planning laws in NI Money Talks!

    Thought that the episode last night was the worse one yet with the suggestion that the Giant Causeway Tramway ran to Larne Dread to think what they will do the Dundalk Newry and Greenore next week! Have contacted them over photos supplied and used such as Swilly images used for Waterford and CDR for Achill Narrow Gauge line but with no joy!

    The Engineering business were being sued by the SRPS who won their case for poor work and were awarded substantial damages that contributed to the Compamy being wound up.

    Station building was listed until Derry City Council applied to have station delisted a number of years ago. This was achieved and know now why! Station canopes still there inside the modern showroom. Plan a special visit next month before it is too late

    Late on Friday evening news about the former CDR station appeared on the NI PAC website. Derry Council had turned down permission to build social housing on former station site. The PAC have overturned this decision and work to start very soon and this could threaten the historic station beside the bridge as well.

    MichaelHC Baker wrote an article in Backtrack about those very coaches

    There were some similar signs in Donegal near the Border

    Photos of a CDR Class 3 actually pulling a train of any type are as rare as hens teeth! They were intended to be used on the commuter like traffic on the CDR branch from Strabane to Victoria Road. Railway Bylines June edition will have an article by myself on the CDR Derry branch.
