30 years of Iarnrod Eireann

[thewanderer]

On the 2nd February 1987 CIÉ was reorganised into a holding company and three operating companies called Iarnrod Eireann, Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann.

 

To mark the occasion, the IE Twitter team did a behind the scenes of Iarnród Éireann for 24 hours (0500 - 0500), to get a glimpse of how the team of 3,800 people deliver your train service.

 

From line inspection to stations, from train maintenance to signalling, through day and night, #24HRSinIE will give you a unique insight into the service and the people who provide it.

 

The photos in this gallery feature my contributions from throughout the day.

 

Use the hashtag #24HRSinIE on twitter to see all the posts from Iarnrod Eireann and many of their staff from throughout the day.

Thanks Wanderer. Enjoyed that.

This implies there may be something to see in Connolly, if anybody is going past.

Yep it's in the Enterprise waiting room on Platform 2 and will be touring the country, with a month in each location (don't have the locations handy). Popped my head in there a couple of days ago and looked impressive enough (as much as a series of self standing poster boards can be!)
