Downpatrick/ITG diesel gala on 7th January - bus connection

 

Following a few queries, we've organised a bus connection from Dublin (Connolly Luas stop) to Downpatrick & back for the ITG/DCDR Mini Diesel Gala 7th January.

 

Dept Connolly at 08:00, Dublin Airport 08:15, with a projected arrival back that evening for 19:15.

 

Tickets are €35 and must be booked in advance at https://www.tailtetours.com/event-details/bus-to-downpatrick-mini-diesel-gala-jan-2023

 

Note, we cannot accept travel passes/consessions, and tickets for the gala event itself must be booked separately at:

https://downrail.digitickets.co.uk/event-tickets/19164?catID=17699&

 

Tickets will not be available for the event or bus on the day so advance booking is a must.

Bump - updated as bus has now been confirmed.

My understanding is tickets for the gala itself are approaching selling out point, so worth heading over to https://downrail.digitickets.co.uk/event-tickets/19164?catID=17699& and grabbing yours to avoid disappointment.

Tickets for our bus connection remain available at https://www.tailtetours.com/event-details/bus-to-downpatrick-mini-diesel-gala-jan-2023

Some pics to whet the appetite... if you're enjoying the model 141s and hoppers and plough vans why not come and see the real thing in action?

There's also the chance to get a spin behind A Class locomotive No.A39...
