Any thoughts on tomorrow's 16:00 set from Dublin? Scheduled DD, NIR railcar, 29 class, ICR, or wheelbarrow?

Not enough drivers certified for a Wheelbarrow

It would be simple enough for me

Well, the other day when i went north, the DD was a 6-car NIR railcar.

No matter, thought I; I'll be sure to get a DD back tomorrow. 

Sure enough - the following day the 16:00 DD was a THREE-car NIR set, with no working internet.

You might need to wait a while; Train services will remain suspended for the remainder of the evening with a phased return to service expected from mid-day tomorrow (4th October).

 

Local rail tickets will be accepted on bus services

Both Dublin ICRs appear to be in York Road?

• 0650/1000/1250/Ety to Dublin eventually was 233+9003 - remains in Dublin
• 0740/1100/1350 was 22037, remains Belfast

 

Ex Belfast Links:

• 0600/0850/1200/1450 was CAF - remains in Belfast
• 0700/0950/1300/1550/1600 ex Belfast from Dundalk/1850 (delayed 1939) was 227+9004 - remains in Dundalk
• 0800/1050/1400/1650 to Dundalk was 231+9002 - remains in Dundalk

Gawwwd. Wanted to take the grandson on a DD set tomorrow as far as Drogheda and back. Anyone know if there is the slightest chance that any normal DD service will be operating?

No rail services in NI since 17.00 last night

22038 appears to be on the 08:50 Connolly-(Dundalk)Belfast.

Best bet is 1550 / 1650

@jhb171achill

Please note, the #Portadown line will start to reopen from 10am this morning and Enterprise services will resume from 11am

Please allow for knock on delay/disruption while services return to normal

[IrishTrainScenes]

Services expected to resume around 12pm

> 22037 may work 1200 ? @hurricanemk1c

1150 may be ICR as normal, 1250 DD, 1350 DD? 1450 DD?

Set 37 still in Belfast GC as if 11:35 this morning anyway.

[airfixfan]

Translink website most unhelpful and impossible to navigate. Staff sources say trains running on most lines by 13.00

Is it still there?

[IrishTrainScenes]

3006 worked the 16.50 Ex Dublin this evening 

[IrishTrainScenes]

If anyone is interested a pair of 111s are expected to leave YR at 11.32 today for Dundalk arriving at 15.45.

^UPDATE: I heard this from staff but this now turns out to be a hoax
