I took this shot back in 2018, and it definitely looks so much better. Not quite sure what the thinking was replacing it with the current logo. Kind of contradicts the point of 071 in the retro livery. 3 1 Quote

jhb171achill Posted April 18 Posted April 18 We've been told the Rosslare trip is now diesel. Presuymably this is a cautionary measure after the Bray Head fires. However, given the weather in the last 48 hours and likely for the next 24, I wonder is there any chance of that being revisited - or is the substitution for a different reason? Quote
IrishTrainScenes Posted Monday at 09:46 Posted Monday at 09:46 Just heard 171 failed on its first running in trip. !!! Quote

Do the RPSI delete events from their website the moment they occur? I had bookmarked a url for Monday’s trips but nothing appears today on following it. Quote
Branchline121 Posted Tuesday at 19:04 Posted Tuesday at 19:04 Seems like they get reduced to a mention on this page once the events occur alright. 1 Quote
