  1. No hourly Enterprise from October 7th. Translink cannot provide enough buses whilst Grand Central cannot accept trains. The Saga continues
  2. Would teach Translink management a lesson or 2!
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Looks more like a summer special from Rossknowlaghl to Strabane about to run round
  6. 231 was the loco with a DD set not cleaned and covered in graffiti!
  7. Love the top photo will be in the station building in the Museum for 2 days this week!
  8. 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
  9. 201 and DDs clearance tests at GC this morning. Problems identified with platforms 5 to 8. The Saga continues
  10. Great stuff digging out more photos of the Ballymena and Larne for another project. Showed some of these photos to galteemore senior recently
  11. 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!
  12. 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!
  13. Looks like the issue is solved but Translink.saying nothing at present
  14. Come October if no GC they will just return to Lanyon!
  15. Translink have already asked but no spare ICRs available for the Enterprise
  16. Expect an update on the 201 problem at GC later today
  17. Train service going to Lanyon according to Irish Rail. External investigation to GC rail fiasco underway now
  18. At least they would pass the restrictions imposed on axle loading but are they passed for DDs to Dublin?
  19. Seems to be no photos which supports the theory the real 201s are barred from the new station!
  20. Any photos of 201s at Belfast Grand Central?
  21. 340 M£ for a new world class transport Hub with no trains allowed and no Glider connections to the City Centre. Eourops bus station still open but no buses which are using a still incomplete new bus station! Translink said it would sorted by Xmas but could say which year! For the tunnels!
  22. And the 4-8-4Ts for the Craggy Island extension!
  23. Translink/DFI have called in the ORR and Network Rail to investigate. Little ballast on the concrete apron due to weight restrictions. Platforms 5 to 8 most affected
  24. Appears to be the concrete apron installed at the station throat
