233 running light toward connolly

[UP6936]

Whilst i was at Howth Jct. today, to see the taras, 201 class loco 233 ran through quite slowly light engine going towards connolly. Does anyone know where, or from whence, she was going?

I saw her in Connolly as the Enterprise spare at 16:20. Might have come light from York Road or was sent out to help clean the rails as there were some issues with rail head condition today with leaf fall.

 

It looked as if it was going to swap for 227 that had just arrived in HEP mode as it had no EGV on the set.

 

Also noted this morning after the engineering works at the weekend. The south bound signal at platform 3 in Howth Junction displayed a double yellow aspect before going to green which was a new feature and all the signal post codes at the station have been changed from HJxx to DN2xx. HowthJuction HJ code to the new Donaghmede DN code.

DN refers to the new "Dublin North" signal interlocking (Killester - Howth / Portmarnock). Also the similar titled "North Dublin" interlocking (Malahide - Drogheda Fringe) has been changed to FL (Fingal).
