Turntables

[Branchline121]

Which turntables on the network still work? I know there’s Connolly for one but how many else can still be used to turn steam locos?

Rosslare I think. Was talk of Tralee being recommissioned. In NI, tables at Whitehead and Coleraine. The latter was refurbished in 2016. It’s had quite a history, being used at Ballymena and Great Victoria St before being salvaged and installed in a brand new pit at Coleraine in 1986, for RPSI use.

Connolly,Inchicore,Rosslare,Tralee and Claremorris-currently only Connolly and Rosslare are operational  

Whitehead has one also

I think Mullingar and Sligo also still have tables in place although long disconnected. Portrush still has one too I think - deeply covered in foliage now and invisible from google earth
