Belmond Hibernian - Luxury Touring Train
Broithe replied to Broithe's topic in What's happening on the network?
I would call it a deep shade of Eau de Nil. -
Dangerously 'political'...?

Banjax = Ladies' Toilet...?

Society?

Security Alert - Connolly/Pearse.
Broithe replied to Broithe's topic in What's happening on the network?
Suspect device in Shaw Street. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/bomb-scare-in-dublin-city-centre-causes-rail-and-traffic-disruption-1.2283444 -
There is a "security alert", resulting in no rail traffic between Connolly and Pearce stations.

Can anyone assist with identifying where this item originated from?
Broithe replied to iarnrod's question in Questions & Answers
Is it definitely railway? I can't quite read the signs, other than "First Class Passengers Only". Is it possible it's from a ship? The "porthole" makes me wonder that.... -
Compromise! Warhammers in your coaches - and tell anybody that notices that they're going to a fancy-dress party and couldn't get anybody to be the designated driver..

Legolip Louisa Bridge & Legoderry...?

I presume that it would be something similar to this - http://www.ocinitrogen.com/Media%20Library/Ammonia%20transport%20-%20Guidance%20for%20transporting%20ammonia%20by%20rail%20(2007)%20-%20Brochure.pdf - some potentially useful pictures in here.

Almost 56' over the buffers - so around 8.8 inches in our world. Give yourself nine inches to allow for couplings.

I expected full-size Lego to be available by now - you could adjust your house to suit your needs, even changing it from winter to summer configurations, perhaps. Whatever happened to the future?

Remarkable - really enjoying following this.

Closing date is July 12th.

Tunnel vs bridge? Why not have both? This tunnel/bridge in Prague always amuses me - the 'underground' runs inside the tube, with the road on top - unless you look closely around you when you get out at the next station, there's no indication that you've actually been up in the sky, not underground...

I see what you did there....

From what I hear, the problem is more with the management than the underlings.. I know quite a few on the tracks, some of whom used to work with me and are well used to dealing with management that has no idea, but there are limits to even their capacity to get round such things. The only person that I've known who worked in a management capacity for Network Rail came to the job from his previous career as a primary school headmaster.

40 minutes of depression, if you've got the spare time - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b060zvnd . It's radio, so should be available to all, in whatever location.

One has to wonder how close the barrier got to connecting with the overheads.....?

It's one of those things that gets talked of regularly - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23672538 - etc....

Sandymount crossing obliterated by Careline..!! Just clearing it away, should all be going again shortly....

And most Irish industry is in coastal areas - in the UK, you have places like Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield, even Manchester these days, all without harbour facilities close at hand.

Indeed, most of these start-ups do fall by the wayside, of course - but I can remember dealing with John Goddard-Watts when he used to sell boxes of screws in Exchange & Mart from the stock he kept in the garage of his house in Yeovil - I know have the luxury of just nipping down to the Screwfix counter at the bottom of my road. Every now and then, somebody will hit it right - whether this is the one or not, time will tell - the answer often comes quickly, though, as Ed says.

26 seems a common number over here - we get a few through Stafford.
