Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Has anyone got any updates for this week Quote
waffles Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Sunday 15th Clonsilla bay platform and signaling test a light engine 071 or 201 expected from about 8am, time not confirmed line reopens from noon Quote
Railer Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 There seems to have been an Enterprise failure this evening. I spotted an NIR C3K 2x3 working south through Clongriffin just after 8pm. Quote
BabyGM Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 i saw a class 2800 and presumably a 2600 (one green one new livery and without gangways) at cherryville junction today at about 12.00 Was it a stock transfer or a service? Quote
Railer Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Just spotted an MPV carrying sleepers heading south through Clongriffin at 23:00. I heard a strange horn and looked out the window to see it passing by. It's first working on the Northern line? Quote
MOGUL Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Sperry train passed through Drumcondra at 13.48 yesterday heading for north wall Quote
201bhoy Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 206 must've failed on Friday morning or Thursday night as it was sitting at the end platform 1 with 230 with tail lights on in Connolly when I got off the first enterprise train. Which itself incidentally broke down, and we were all transferred to a CAF set instead at Central! Quote

201bhoy Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 206 was on the shed at connolly yesterday with 8208 and two 071s. I think it was 206 anyway! I was a bit bleary eyed at that time of the morning but I saw two locos, both in original enterprise livery with no full yellow ends or anything like that, sitting at the end of platform 1. I definitely remember 230 being there, but I thought it was the other one that had failed as it had the tail lights on at the back. Quote
MOGUL Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Line from Glasnevin Junction to Connolly(via Drumcondra) closed for bridge works in north strand. A set of buffer stops has been placed on the line in Glasnevin Quote
Garfield Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Aye... it meant I had the honour of travelling via Newcomen Junction when I got the train up from Longford for the exhibition Quote
Blu Bianco Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Aye... it meant I had the honour of travelling via Newcomen Junction when I got the train up from Longford for the exhibition Went up that way a few weeks ago also, for the first time since the GM's left passenger duties on the Maynooth/Longford/Sligo line. I have never seen a railcar struggle that much to get up a gradient. I mean, its hardly the steepest but clearly wasn't built for railcars! Quote

I have never seen a railcar struggle that much to get up a gradient. I mean, its hardly the steepest but clearly wasn't built for railcars! I'd say that was down to adhesion rather than the power of the railcar itself... the extra weight of a loco would mean it could handle it better. Quote
201bhoy Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Was there a powercut on the enterprise, as the set went past my house with all the lights off! Maybe it was just an ECS? Quote
201bhoy Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 112 (I think) just went past my house hauling failed 208. Quote
Gordon71 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) 112 (I think) just went past my house hauling failed 208. Yes you would have seen 112 haul 8208 , it followed the 08:57 ex Bangor to Portadown service from Belfast Central today 112 hauled 8208 to Dublin for repairs . Pics of 112 & 8208 will be on mysite soon Edited December 15, 2012 by Gordon71 Quote
RedRich Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 112 (I think) just went past my house hauling failed 208. With a view like that Vincent don't move out. Rich, Quote
201bhoy Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 With a view like that Vincent don't move out. Rich, I'm not moving out any time soon Rich! I think it's what got me into trains in the first place! 201s and IE mk2s, 111s and NIR mk2s, 201s and DDs, 071s, 141s, 121s and 201s pulling all sorts of freight, cement bubbles, fertiliser, timber, Guinness liner and the class 80 and 450! What a variety we had then! Quote

What a variety we had then! Very true Vincent. Look at the view from my inlaws garden in my avatar of the Barrow Bridge. I used to love the Beet traffic and the Boat Train, when it was Park Royals, Cravens, BR GSV'S, Dutch Vans. Rich, Quote
201bhoy Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Anyone else see the enterprise go past with 208 at the Dublin end? Not sure if I've ever seen that before! Quote
Glenderg Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Anyone else see the enterprise go past with 208 at the Dublin end? Not sure if I've ever seen that before! Have you a camera? Quote
201bhoy Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Have you a camera? I do have a camera, unfortunately I was half asleep at the time and so didn't get it on! It said it was delayed due to a signalling problem though, so it probably had to reverse into GVS at Westlink junction. Quote

It was 209 that was at the Dublin end it worked the 08:00 ex Belfast & the 11:00 ex Dublin after a signal failure at Central Junction this morning ,the set got turned after arrival in Belfast on the 11:00 ex Dublin Quote
Broithe Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Tweet from IÉ half an hour ago - Major delays to Cork, Limerick & Tralee services in both directions due to a major signal fault at Ballybrophy. Quote
snapper Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I believe this is affecting everything between Portlaoise railcar depot and Ballybrophy. They have just established temporary block working and things are finally starting to move. Quote
snapper Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 It actually seems to be affecting everything between Lisduff and Portlaoise train care depot. Quote
snapper Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Temporary block working has now been cancelled and they are using the ecp at Ballybrophy. Delays should start to ease soon. Quote
ttc0169 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 The 09.20 from Cork has just arrived at platform 5 at Heuston formed by set 4002 being pushed by 223. Quote
thewanderer Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Trains were delayed by up to +140 minutes due to the failure of signalling equipment. The 09.00, 10.00, 11.00 Heuston - Cork's all terminated at Mallow to form their scheduled return service. These were delayed between +60 & +120 minutes. Up road the first train to be affected was the 07.00 Tralee - Heuston which was noted passing Laois Depot just under +120 minutes late. Other Cork services delayed were the 09.20, 10.20, 11.20 ,12.20 & 13.20 ex Cork and these were delayed between +140 & +15 minutes. The 12.20, 13.20 & 14.20 started ex Mallow. A day of fun and games.

A fountain of knowledge Wanderer. I'm sure the guys and gals of IE are working hard to get things back to normal. Any ideas when the grey 071s are escaping Inchicore? Quote
thewanderer Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Everything is back to normal for the evening peak. Some trains are ICR instead of MKIV and vice versa as a result of set switches at Heuston, but the main thing is they are on time. As for the 071's. I haven't heard anything at all. As the saying goes they be ready when they are ready. Quote
snapper Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Sounds like another busy day Update: 14.05hrs DART services are currently only operating between Malahide/Howth Jct & Dun Laoghaire only, due to flooding at various locations along the track. Delays up to 15 mins to some services can be expected. This website will be updated as further information is made available. Quote
snapper Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 18:30 Friday 22 March 2013 Due to a landslide on the rail line between Newry and Dundalk, bus transportation will be provided for Enterprise passengers between these two points in both directions until further notice. Quote
gm171 kk Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I saw a video of 234 pulling the DFDS liner past Cloneygowan , Co. Offaly earlier and there is a report on boards.ie saying "083 on a empty timber from Waterford at Kildare. 073 on Ballina-Waterford DFDS at Kildare. Both are running behind schedule as they all should of departed earlier. Two further 071's operating to Heuston, looks like one failed didn't see the numbers." Does anyone know what has happened to the DFDS liner? Quote
