Hi lads,

Saw this coming into town yesterday at lunchtime, I believe it is heading to Cobh in 30 mins or so, Does anyone have a time for when it departing from Cobh today. Hoping to sneak to the back of the office building to get a shot as she comes into Fota.

Edit Got a reply on the book of faces

No 2 really reminds me of a model railway for some reason

Interesting although sad to see the station now from when I was there back in 2003 & 2005 but I see the tradition of having a dumped wagon is being carried on although I don't think the goods yard tracks are connected now!

The Drone is a good way of finding out the roof details.
