Ireland 2016

A visit to Ireland in May 2016, mainly to travel on the RPSI specials!

Dublin LUAS at Connolly

Suburban (Dart) unit at Connolly.

One of the units that make up most of the Irish passenger services now.

071 40th Diesel Railtour, Friday 13th May.

Croagh Patrick Railtour, Saturday 14th May to Monday 16th May.

After setting fire to the lineside, on the main line from Dublin to Cork, with the consequent closure for a couple of hours, the steam special was terminated at Hazelhatch, and a southbound passenger service was commandered to take us all back to Dublin Connolly (complete with an extra crew to pilot us around Dublin, although the service train had come 

from Heuston!, and provide a cross platform interchange in to the Belfast train!!).
