Very interesting video. Different times. Hardly a hi-vis jacket nor a hard hat in sight, folk walking under unsecured jacks, etc. But one heck of a logistical achievement getting 201 onto Irish Rails via air and road. Shame 201 is rotting away prematurely in a siding at Inchicore along with other 201s that never achieved their targeted service lives. Capital assets that certainly were not 'sweated' along with mk3s, unlike the 071s still in service today.

Pressed into service regardless of the additional cost, pressed out of service regardless ......
