Ireland - September 2007

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.

  1. 14th Sep - 076 at Connolly
  2. 14th Sep - 16:15 Fridays only to Ballina
  3. 15th Sep - Ballina to Heuston
  4. 15th Sep - Back to Athlone
  5. 16th Sep - Athenry

The trains which I travelled on are:
