thewanderer Posted August 12, 2020 Author Posted August 12, 2020 Today was my first trip on a train since the 12th March, a total of 5 months, when I took a short spin from Limerick to Limerick Jct. to meet the Railtour Ireland "Emerald Pullman" charter which is spending eight days touring Ireland. The tour is aimed at the domestic market and visits Rosslare, Waterford, Cobh, Killarney, Galway and Belfast over the course of the week. Two tours are scheduled to operate this year with the final departure from Dublin being the 23rd August. Other images from the day saw 074 heading LE from Limerick to Waterford and 4004 + 217 at Limerick Jct. on the 0925 Cork - Heuston. Click https://bit.ly/3gTbxxg to view all the images. 2 Quote

Saturday 29th August 2020: Passenger services have been suspended on the Nenagh Branch and South Tipperary Railways since Sunday March 29th when an emergency timetable was introduced which saw service reductions across the board. From Monday 31st August the last remaining services not restored were reinstated. A proving train operated on Saturday morning from Limerick to Ballybrophy departing at 0700 and returning at 0930.
