Railer Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It's actually fairly regular sight more often than not. They're 5 years into repainting the sets and I think only 7 or 8 out of the 29 are done due to the high demand on the fleet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the 4th commuter livery change since the introduction of the original Arrow in 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewanderer Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Evening folks, Last weekend I visited Berlin, Warsaw and Prague with a group of friends for a weekend away. Of course there was plenty of time for pictures and we traveled from Berlin to Warsaw by the Warsaw Express and then onto Prague by the overnight Choplin sleeper train. Pictures from Warsaw include a visit to the railway museum in the city. Click https://goo.gl/H7WFp8 to view all the images. A few photos from this week have been uploaded to the October gallery featuring a birds eye view of 207 passing Clongriffin, 088 hauling failed 232 from Cork to Inchicore and 073 shunting a PWD train at Portlaoise.
