Line closure this weekend folks

 

@jhb171achillanything of note at Malahide?

Yes - the place is full of yella machines!

I think there’s a loco up in the quarry siding but too far away to see properly. Orange 071 has been living there most of the last 2 weeks.

And the next one is a Castle class hauling 3 Dutch vans!

171 is performing superbly today. Just eating up the miles at 70-75 mph. Apart from the clouds racing past the window you wouldn’t know there’s a 113 year old kettle up front.

Very capable machine. One of the class still holds the Belfast-Dublin record

206 hauled 227 to Dundalk today @airfixfan

Due to a vehicle striking a bridge between Newry and Dundalk all lines are closed.

 

Impact:

Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until further notice.

Yesterday 1650 failed at Clongriffin and was towed back to Dublin and pax transferred to the 1850 DD set. 8208 (1400) was taken off in Dublin and replaced with 8209 but appears it wasn't the fault. The 1650 ex Dublin ran with the 1600 set (9004/233) departing at 1845 (115 mins late) arriving Belfast at 2056. The 1850 (8209/9001) departed at 1915 (25 mins late) arriving Belfast at 2127.

It also made Belfast Telegraph!

Regarding 'additional service' it is unclear if this ran.

@jhb171achillThere had been talk of putting 1650 Pax on the 1640 Dun Laoghaire Dundalk train (29000)!!
