Tour Review

Due to a derailment at Knockcrockery on the day of the railtour, the line between Claremorris and Athlone via Roscommon was blocked, and so the railtour had to return to Dublin Connolly via Claremorris, Tuam, Athenry, Athlone and Portarlington. In addition, the final section between Dublin Connolly and Bray was also omitted from the itinerary due to engineering work.

The train was formed of Iarnród Éireann Cravens coaches.

 

081 at Dublin Connolly (John Whittingham)

173 + 141 at Woodlawn (Jonathan Huckle)

173 + 141 Claremorris (Andrew Butler)
