thewanderer Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share 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.

thewanderer Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Afternoon all, The latest pictures have been uploaded to the August gallery featuring: Wednesday 19th August 2020: While on a River Shannon boat trip I snapped 22026 crossing Drumsna Viaduct with the 1105 Sligo - Connolly. Wednesday 26th August 2020: A HOBS train operated over the Nenagh Branch. Departing Limerick at 1010 with retro Irish Rail liveried 073 in charge. The train stabled in Lisduff for reloading. 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.

Monday 31st August 2020: With the reintroduction of the full Iarnrod Eireann timetable on Monday 31st August, services on the Nenagh Branch and South Tipperary line were reinstated. The morning Nenagh branch services were worked by 2803 + 2804 and 2819 + 2820. Unfortunately due to a train failure at Waterford the 0720 Waterford - Limerick Jct. and 0945 return was a bus transfer. The afternoon 1625 Waterford - Limerick Jct. and 1840 return was operated by 22009. Pictures from the day come from Nenagh in the morning and Castleconnell in the evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
