Bantry Town Station 1950's

I like to imagine if even the Bantry line alone had survived… the 1960s, 70s, 80s and early 90s would probably  have seen a diet of 141s, Park Royals and laminates, and C / B201s. Oil trains would possibly have appeared. Probably no goods after 1975/6.

Fast forward to today: the system would be operated by two 2-car 2800s.

I’d rather go to Bantry in an ICR or 2600 / 2800 than a car, looking over hedges at a long gone railway formation! 


(I might draw the line at an NIR 450 or MED, though….)

Bantry's trip to Stamford went better than expected, particularly as we had not really had a proper shake down session and the backscene was painted by Mrs 84C that  week!!   Our club got soo lucky AND I am a lucky husband ; big thanks to my Sheila.

Here are some pictures.
