It was very buy in Northwall yesterday evening as I was passing by at 17:30.

All available roads were occupied with 088 right up against the gates. Next to no room to shunt with 2 loaded liners and spare pocket and LX wagons present.

Unusual that there would be two loaded liners there these days, are you sure it wasn’t the one liner split in two?

It was 2 liners, 1 was loaded LX which would be the empties to be unloaded coupled to 088 while nex to it was the CPW rake also loaded. Beside that were the empty CPW spares and stored CPWs.

Any photos of the current layout?

Have Liners ceased running to the Common User Terminal and road transfers introduced between East Wall & the Port?

Interestingly 'back in the day" the East Wall Yard being too short to accommodate a full length Liner Train (15-18 bogies) was the excuse given by IE for discontinuing the container trains operated for "Norfolkline" between Waterford Port & North Wall.

As I was passing Northwall around 6pm yesterday I noticed what seemed to be some testing going on.

 

There appeared to be 3 loaded LX wagons in the new loading area while the rest of the liner was split in multiple parts across the access points on the switched diamond to the yard. I could not see any loco numbers.
