Following our visits in 2005-7, we returned to Ireland for some loco-haulage, before the new 22000s DMUs enters service. There are still a few 071s and Mk2s about but are there too many 201s around. We didn't manage to go to Westport on Sunday because it was a 201.
The trains which I travelled on are:
