  3. Patrick cannot get that photo to open. Will send you a PM
  4. Not until September 22nd at the moment
  5. 2 hourly service from August 26th to/ from Portadown. Will be September 22/23 before it runs to Belfast GC
  6. So proves story line lifted quickly is untrue
  7. Some photos of GNR 4-4-0s as well
  8. Germany and Italy both unified by 1871
  9. Interesting photo from 1953 considering Harryville closed completely in 1940 and was quickly lifted during WW2.
  10. NCC coach 318 survives today aa CDR coach 58 at the Donegal Railway Heritage Museum. We have a talk this Saturday afternoon at 14.30 by Charles Friel
  11. 4001 on test trains today Adelaide to the new Hub returned via City Hospital to Adelaide
  12. You can get photos at City Hospital station as test trains using all sides of the triangle here. Trains booked out all week for driver training etc
  13. From Strabane to Derry the route through NI is too built up in contrast the former GNR main line is flat and all but intact from Porthall to the former railway museum site beside Craigavon Bridge in Derry
  14. Love the Donegal Town photo. Stranorlar line to the left and Ballyshannon branch to the right. We have a model of this location in the Donegal Railway Heritage Centre
  15. Agreed today to push back the opening for train services until mid September.
  16. Also seen on the County Donegal and Lough Swilly 2
  17. Hourly service from October 7th. You will be able to arrive in Belfast/Dublin before 09.00 for the first time ever. August 26th looks unlikely thanks to DFI red tape plus the new signalling system!
  18. The old Swilly route to Derry is heavily built over Knowing the area well a spur at St Johnston to Letterkenny would be the easiest route ny far.
  19. Strabane to Derry easy enough Porthall bridge over the Foyle one half survives as it is County Donegal. The other half crossing the border removed in the early 1970s removed by the British Army ascites had become an IRA escape route! Porthall to Derry relatively clear although Carrigans is now a private house. See Disused stations website for maps/,photos etc
  20. Yes indeed
  21. For sale the Fintona Tram Horse only one owner!
