078 doesn't hang around when running round!

Indeed. That was one of the things that surprised when I saw this operation taking place for the first time. They do not waste any time and only takes about ten minutes to complete. That time includes letting another train overtake it, so it's quite impressive.

1) NIR 3003 leaving with an extra service to Belfast.


2)076 leaving with a Mk. 2 rake to Sligo


3)085 and a long rake of Mk.2's on a GAA special

This is a lovely claggy departure!

Here is a video of Inchicore Works in Dublin from a passing train. At the front is the running shed where the locomotives go after being released from their train in Heuston. It's about a mile from Heuston. In the background are the workshops, etc.

Terriffic! Lots of stuff around there.

I really like those coaches, a good livery to stand out in dull weather.
