No. 131 - The Phoenix Movmements?

[Ballinacraig]

Does anyone know if No. 131 will be leaving Whitehead to go to Dublin on the same day (Sat 1st April) as scheduled Pheonix run? I live in Newry and would love to film it at Jerrettspass.

Don’t worry, it’s after 12……

Had it been 10:00, she would have been hauling a De Dietrich set with a six-wheeled passenger brake and three cattle wagons at the end…

The RPSI have given the following timetable for Saturday 1st April. Apologies for my ignornace, but based on these times, how could it be coming through Newry at 14:39?

I think they mean the initial pax run from Dublin to Dundalk…

[airfixfan]

Try Dundalk to Dublin behind steam

[Ballinacraig]

Thanks for the clarification

Anyone know what platform she'll be rolling into Connolly?
