Question about NIR & Irish Rail fotopic website

[IrishTrainScenes]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know why both the NIR & IE fotopic websites are unavailable?

 

Bare in mind, it hasn’t been used for 10+ years but if you could assist it would be greatly appreciated.

Fotopic went bust over 10 years ago and it took a few months just to get them to set up a temporary facility to retrieve files. I had some 15000 odd images on there which  eventually were then put onto my Flickr 'Ernie's Railway Archive' You can recognise the ex Fotopic images as they used a - instead of a space between words and the retrieved files still have the 'underscore' as I  couldn't be a*sed er didn't have the time to re-title them. They also owed me over £100 commission for photos they had sold plus the bulk of my annual subscription fee.

On the whole Flickr has been far more satisfactory. C'est la vie!

Some users posted the links to their ex-FotoPic collections here.

Hope you find what you are looking for.
