29000 on Westport line?

turnapin · 13-03-2007, 07:55

Was passed yesterday afternoon by what looked like a 29000 just north of Athlone. Anyone know if these are now being used on the Manulla shuttle, or god forbid, to Westport?

Probably a 2600 being sent back to Ballina after repair

Or a Kildare train that got lost.

Probably a 2600 as Mark says, as I wasn't aware that these were repainted.

I'm pretty sure all the commuter stock has been painted in the new blue/green livery. I haven't seen any in the old black and orange one for over a year, and everything ends up in Drogheda eventually.

I was on 2607 last night on the Manulla - Ballina run, I think it has changed since last friday but I cant for the life of me remember any more!
