IrishTrainScenes Posted August 30 Author Posted August 30 There is either a 29000 or short 22 on the 1150 & 1500 today
Niles Posted August 30 Posted August 30 231 was at Inchicore during the week, not sure if it went back over, swaps are common enough but it's been a solid fixture on the Enterprises over the summer, I believe it may be coming up for a mileage based overhaul.

Yes I noticed 209 with its shell off in Inchicore last month. Not sure why could that be part of an overhaul? Edited August 31 by IrishTrainScenes Typo

Mol_PMB Posted September 20 Posted September 20 I must have been very slow, it's taken me 30 years to realise why it was diesel loco numbers 206 to 209 that were allocated to the Enterprise... 1 3

As far as I know the arrangement was always due to be 9001+9003 hauled by 206+207, while 9002+4 by 208+209. But strange if you ask me!

The set was towed back to Dublin by 072 (216 had been sent but 072 reached Newry first)

IrishTrainScenes Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago To sum up this week (so far) Monday: 0650 ex Dublin failed in Newry, 0740, 0850 & 0950 ex Dublin all terminated at Dundalk with buses to Belfast. 072 was sent to Newry to haul the failed set back to Dublin. 216 was also sent Light Engine to Newry but 072 had reached Newry first and so 216 was sent back to Belfast. The 1000 & 1100 ex Belfast were CAFs to Newry. Tuesday: The 1050 ex Dublin failed at Portadown, resulting in the 1200 ex Belfast (CAF) being terminated at Portadown and ran back to Belfast as the 1050. The DD set then worked the 1200 ex Belfast (from Portadown), 1450 ex Dublin, 1800 ex Belfast and 2050 ex Dublin. 1850 ex Dublin over 60 late into Belfast. Wednesday: 1000 ex Belfast, 1250 ex Dublin & 1600 ex Belfast worked by ICR off 0740. DD off 0650 failed and worked 1100. A CAF set worked the 1850. Today: 0600/0800 ex Belfast and 0850/1050 ex Dublin 3 car CAFs
