C3Ks on Enterprise

James Shields · 23-02-2008, 12:32

On southbound Enterprise, passing Skerries I saw a C3K heading north. Nothing unusual there, however, a few minutes later, passing the golf course south of Skerries I spotted a second C3K train, also heading north. Both appear to have been 6 car sets.

The first one I assumed to be an Enterprise replacement, but the second? Are NIR running rugby specials?

3 rugby specials today all C3K

They travel back to Dundalk to park up, not enough room in Connolly

All the way back to Dundalk for lack of sidings? What a waste of diesel...

Should have parked them in those 'sidings' under Phoenix Park

Nice day out for the drivers though

Slightly getting off topic, but I met a friend in town who had to wait 20 mins in Dun Laoghaire then squeeze in to a crammed DART. NIR ran specials, but as far as I know IE didn't put on one extra train for one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

I'd say they'd have had a hard job finding anyone to drive them given the current industrial relations
