Morning all,

 

Photographs from Killarney on Saturday afternoon and an early visit to Carn Bridge on the Monday morning.

 

Saturday 12th October 2013:

Due to Engineering Works at Charleville on Saturday 12th October 2013, an amended timetable was in operation on the Mallow - Tralee line. This timetable required three trains to operate it, compared to the normal two. The extra train was provided in the form of 2611 + 2612.

 

Monday 14th October 2013:

The 4 car ICR project has arrived. During the 2nd week of October 22021, 22022 and 22041 were all reformed at Laois Train Care Depot with 22041 losing vehicles 22641 to 22021 and 22741 to 22022. The first 4 car unit entered traffic on Monday 14th October 2013 with 22021 working the 0645 Portlaoise - Heuston, 0800 Heuston - Cork & 1120 Cork - Heuston services.

The October Bank Holiday Monday saw me venture out to Killenard for some afternoon services to/from Heuston, including 7 car 22045 + 22052 on the 1445 Heuston - Westport. Later on I went to Killenard for the 1510 Heuston - Waterford & 1450 Waterford - Heuston services. The final stop of the day was Cloney for the 1105 Ballina - Waterford Timber which had 074 at the helm.

Great pics as usual Wanderer. 086 was always one of my favourites. I must get out and track her down myself for some pics. She looks cool with the orange and black door. If it is the same door, it has appeared on a few of the 071's in the silver and black livery.

Cheers Rich :)

 

I was sitting my comfy house and knew when it left Kildare. Off down to the station and was rather dismayed when it arrived into the loop :( After looking at the timetable I realised it wouldn't go anywhere until the 1310 Westport - Heuston arrived at Port, so off home I went again to get warm!

 

I don't know why it was delayed at Kildare. It arrived only +3 into Kildare, but left +30 late.

I've started a flickr account finally and I'll be updating with pics as I go through them over the next few weeks so be sure to check back. Plenty of foreign muck from me as you'd expect but more Irish interest than you might've thought! ;)

 

click here and bookmark! if you like what you see.

 

Had a good look at them earlier on Fran. The Presidential Coach looks beautiful. Take them as often as you can as they will be a great reference for people in the future as well as now. The MM models look nice also.
