IrishTrainScenes Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Folks would anyone have any idea when was the last time the Cravens or Mk2 Carriages operated on the Enterprise? I know the Mk2s operated once in 2007 but I have no idea of the date. Any info appreciated as I was curious. Quote

0 Mol_PMB Posted July 21 Posted July 21 It couldn't have been much later than 2007 as the Cravens and Mk2s were withdrawn around then. Quote
0 Blaine Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Depends which MK2 - the 'original' Irish MK2D's or the late 'imported' MK2A/B's - both were on the Enterprise, around 2006/7 as pointed out above. MK2D's pushed off when the De Dietrich's were introduced but appeared occasionally afterwards NIR, the original Enterprise fleet all gone by 1999, the Gatwicks made a few runs, last one being in June 2008 1 Quote
0 Mol_PMB Posted July 21 Posted July 21 80 Class were Mk2s of course, indeed some had trailer cars from the original Enterprise Mk2 fleet. Before the 3000s were delivered they would have been first choice for a substitution on the Enterprise, but I wonder when that last happened? Quote

According to Edwin McMillans book one failed on the 16.50hrs Enterprise from Dublin on 31 December 2005. Albeit a photo shows a 2 car 80 class on the 18.10 ex Belfast in August 2005. 12 minutes ago, Blaine said: Depends which MK2 - the 'original' Irish MK2D's or the late 'imported' MK2A/B's - both were on the Enterprise, around 2006/7 as pointed out above.
