Steam Era Enterprise timings

Hi there,

Could anyone help me out, i am looking for the Belfast-Dublin timing for the GNR Enterprise around the late forties?

thanks

IRRS archives will have GNR timetables starting with first "Enterprise" in 1947, if you are in or about Dublin, or a member.

Unfortunately, I am neither of those things. Luckily though i found a book on the GNR and i think the timings were around 2 and quarter to 2 and a half hours

They would indeed have been.... just as now, some 66 years later!

For a little background reading on the enterprise this may be of interest

Thanks for posting L. Erne, great piece of nostalgia.

Thanks Lough Erne, very interesting. With RPSI loco Merlin nearly ready to return to traffic, maybe they should run a half and half 111 & 85 return tour to Dublin?
