    Thanks David. Phoned today and as usual they blamed Coid and the Royal Mail. Strange as Heritage Railway arrived on time and another magazine arrived 2 days early.

    There is an article on UTA Festival coaches from 1951 in current issue. This is what I am told as despite the magazine being published a week ago my subscriber copy has yet to arrive. Has anyone else got the December issue of Backtrack to confirm that there is an article yet?

    Thanks John some errors from presenter who was told by myself that line opened in 1852. He wrote down 1862. Thanks to Ernie, Tony and others for photos used.

    Have contacted Lightmoor about some errors in book description. Plenty on the Donegal and the Swilly which technically do not belong in either of the 2 categories listed!

    Indeed John according to the last UTA Timetable from Sept 1964 until closure there was only ONE stopping service from Foyle Road to Strabane per week!

    Was at St Johnston station in August this year. The family in lived in the Station masters house told me their Grandfather said they had done all the stations and bridges up from Strabane to Derry in the summer of 1964. Closed 6 months later!

    Must follow the CDR one up soon.

    We shall have to wait and see the book. The bottom photo is new to myself and at least unlike the Mulligan book they have printed the photo the right way round this time.

    Just what I expected as the Jarvis brothers visited the NCC Narrow Gauge lines in 1939. Looking forward to see some new Donegal and Swilly photos as well. We can hope for some new photos!
