yes it is disappointing. I was due to take the 1650 yesterday but fortunately managed to take a very busy 1520 DD set. I noticed the 3 car NIR set leaving Dundalk so breathed a sigh of relief that I...

It was hard to see as all the passengers were corralled on the platform while the train sets were connected and the doors were tested. (I was at the very front to board the "A" carriage) I have to...

Sligo services
I have used the Sligo services on a number of occasions recently. It is a very good service given the constraints of a line the is single track from Maynooth onwards. The 1505 on Friday last was...
