I have just this minute heard an 071 go past the house (slowing to approach Malahide in the down direction).

00:44, Tue 16th.

Bit late for empty Taras, I thought, as the other empty dawdled through a good couple of hours ago.

So I peered into the gloom, and I see strange lights; what appears to have been a set of Taras with small lights strung along the side of each wagon. Too long a train to be one of those inexplicable yellow things, and they don’t sound like 071s anyway.

Can anyone explain?

No, I’ve had no beer.

Is it the late Coca Cola train delayed from the Christmas season? :P

That’s what occurred to me!!

It sounds like the HOBS running late. Should have been through Malahide at about 21:45.

Does it have lights along the side, almost literally LIKE the “holidays are coming” ad?

Perhaps a St Patricks day display of some kind, many towns and villages around the country putting up green lighting, etc?
