Due to
late running caused by a points failure at Athenry on the
return journey, the railtour returned directly from Athlone
to Dublin Connolly via Portarlington, and not via Moate as
originally advertised. This was to ensure that the ferry
connection that evening at Dun Laoghaire was maintained for
UK-based passengers.
The
train was formed of Iarnród Éireann Cravens coaches.
