Blue 216 has been kickin' around at Connolly shed several days this week. Dunno what's in Belfast. 

233 is in Belfast

1900 was 22301

Saw an NIR 3-car railcar heading north earlier this evening. I'm thinking my Thursday trip will be by car.

That's a booked roster.

It turns out one set (9004) has been taken out of service as it needs its bogies replaced.

No idea why 9002 is out of service so 9003 the only one in service.

@jhb171achillyour best hope of a DD is probably the 0650 or 1250

The DD set MIGHT be back tomorrow but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

What about the 09:50?

 

[NIRCLASS80]

9004 is in service tomorrow. 9002 is on test tomorrow.

Sounds like I dodged a bullet yesterday: the 10am from Belfast was a DD and there was no trouble beyond an obligatory stuck-behind-a-Dart for the last few miles. I had actually booked the 2pm from Dublin to Cork accounting for Enterprise unreliability but I'd have made the 1pm. 

I must say, the breakfast waffles are very very sweet!

Definitely?

10:50 is an oul railcar. NIR thing, but at least it’s not a 29.

"oul railcar. NIR thing"... 

Sometimes I wonder whether I was born about 100 years too late.

9002 seen on test at Whiteabbey this morning

[jhb171achill]

4pm leaving from Maysfields Cattle Sidings Lanyon Central. Gawwd knows what it will be. A 2-car 26 diverted from Little Island - Carrigaloe?

It could be coming through from Whitehead - a blue 4-4-0 with a rake of green Mk2 coaches?
