Tour Review

One of the coaches had to be detached at Malahide on the outward journey after suffering a brake problem.

A replacement coach was brought by 111 to Lisburn and this was attached to the train. With the time lost on the outward journey the train did not traverse the Portrush branch.

The train was formed of NIR mark 2 air braked coaches.
