heirflick Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 well, thank God that nobody was hurt there, and on that point of damage - any to the network reported here on the seafront routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 They have difficulty there on a regular basis - perhaps if they glued it with a big dropper....? It does exist in the real world, e.g. Paddington Station. The line to Holyhead along the North Wales coast was washed away for weeks back in the '70s. Similar trouble is still on-going today - http://www.railnews.co.uk/news/2013/12/06-north-wales-storm-repairs-will.html ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 When jhb171 senior started work on the GSR, serious problems were encountered along the coast hetween Dublin and Wicklow, leading to major repair work having to be dive in a number of locations. He used this experience to do exactly the same type of work along the Carrickfergus - Larne lobe of the NCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Driver lucky not to have a spinal injury or drown in that Water was a good bit higher when it happened than it might appear by the time those pictures were taken - a very near miss, certainly.

hurricanemk1c Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Railway photographer on his rounds looking for a good shot most likely……. hurricanemk1c maybe? Driver lucky not to have a spinal injury or drown in that I beg your pardon!!!! Last time I was on a bike was many, many years ago. Walk everywhere instead Back to topic - why was he there in the first place? Water may have helped it slow down a bit, still very nasty and very lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
