hurricanemk1c Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Good evening all, A double update from me, starting with shots from Saturday All can be seen here - Next is shots from today's mayhem at Portlaoise. With the finish of the annual Electric Picnic music festival at nearby Stradbally, a lot of people chose to travel by train to Portlaoise on Thurs/Fri/Sat (then onward by bus) and return on Monday. As a result, huge passenger numbers from approximately 0630 this morning were experienced, with most trains I observed taking on at least 50-70 'Picnicers'. The 1220 Portlaoise - Heuston took on over 100 passengers on a 3ICR. Anyway, photos below All photos can be seen here - Regards, Kieran Quote
