What's happening at DCDR & ITG Downpatrick?

[tonybonneyba]

Hello!

 

This thread is to keep you updated on what is happening & planned public events at the Downpatrick & County Down Railway & The Irish Traction Group, Downpatrick based.

 

News:

I'm sure you have already heard about A39® in her new (amazing) livery, which was painted by one man (at most of the time).

 

Next Public Event:

The next public event at DCDR will be the Mince Pie Trains, which is (I think at a tradition) a diesel hauled train day, so, if you like heritage diesel trains & mince pies, this will be a fantastic day out for you.

 

This will take place on January 2nd, 2016

 

For details, see downrail.co.uk or Facebook.com/downrail

Will the new beauty be on duty?

 

And - I'm presuming it's the standard timetable, perhaps without the 1700 departure?

If your talking about 458, unfortunately not, as she's in a refurbishment program, if your talking about ITG's A39r, I don't know.

 

1400 being the first departure, 1700 being last departure.

 

DCDR has the right to cancel, suspend & or delay any service with out notice

I don't think the Castle Class could ever be described as a 'beauty'.

 

A Black & Tan A class on the other hand...

I meant A39. I'd have to confess to being amongst those who might see 458 as "the ugly duckling"!
