thewanderer Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Afternoon all, One year to the day since the first set was withdrawn from passenger service, the first of the refurbished Enterprise trains returns to service. It worked the 0800 Belfast Central - Dublin Connolly and 1100 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central. The project team aim to return sets 2 and 3 to service at two week intervals from today.

Noel Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I have pictures from the launch in this thread: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5092-The-Enterprise-returns-to-service Thanks for posting those. Looks really nice inside. Especially the business service coach. I looks like all the coaches have window blinds. Pity Irish Rail no longer have a decent business service on the Cork line. I presume the photo on slide 6 is the DVT. Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 That is a serious improvement. Guess I'll have to try it! Quote
Railer Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 That is a serious improvement. Guess I'll have to try it! I wouldn't just yet. The set suffered a failure yesterday and again today. Yesterday was 8208 suffering from very bad wheel flats so the loco had to be removed. I don't know what todays failure was. Quote

Glenderg Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I know it's the Enterprise, but did they really have to take the reference so seriously Quote
David Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I know it's the Enterprise, but did they really have to take the reference so seriously [ATTACH=CONFIG]21054[/ATTACH] Ah come on! Not even the right starship. Quote
Noel Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Ah come on! Not even the right starship. Kap'n shes'a nout gonna take much morea this!!! She'll flat spot if we go above warp 9 any wee longer. Quote
Glenderg Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Ah come on! Not even the right starship. Ha ha! fair point, I'll get me coat. Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 That new coat of paint should have fixed everything!!!!!! Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I knew it. Stick on the REAL 207 - a blue 4.4.0, and some brown wooden carriages with a GNR crest on them. That'll do the trick. Never mind these tin tubes in gaudy colours...... Quote
Noel Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 No wonder the French, German and Swiss railways have such good reputations. Quote
thewanderer Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Ha ha! fair point, I'll get me coat. If your going to do it..do it right! Keep that picture for any reference to these Quote
