Niles Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) At Downpatrick, volunteers are now laying the first section new of track (as opposed to a relay or extension of existing headshunts) since 2015... The timbers come from the recently closed Great Victoria St station, so a little bit of modern NIR history shall live on.
