Caught 071 in its new livery today hauling the Westport to Waterford timber train. Thanks to ttc0169 for letting me know it was running.

Is that an 'Orange' windscreen wiper I see?! Someone in the paintshop having a laugh perhaps?? The IR orange livery lives on!

It's off a baby gm I should think. Hopefully there will be some orange doors and window frames flung on to brighten the new livery up a bit more like with the freight livery.

Brilliant video and photo, but did that driver come over specifically from his seat to wag an admonishing finger at you???

He has to move to the right hand side of the cab so he can see the signal on the loop as the curve is too tight to see it from the other side.
