Good collection of photos there. I hate to be pedantic, but I can only count 5 coaches?

You appear to be correct, six nations, six coaches, Charlie must have counted the dead 57 on the back, agree excellent photos,

Wonder if our friend Drimnagh Rd of Dublin was aboard?

No Bob, been fairly quiet on the 57 front of late. Logistical nightmare to get to that Rug Ex, the first boat from Dublin doesn't arrive until near Midday.

Hope to get over on Saturday to do the drag and phot the UK Railtours charter.

Pity you missed it, you could have had a carriage to yourself.

No as there's no rugby on at the Millennium Stadium

Actually of course. Sort of a Duh moment there. Unless they want to run a Holyhead-Paris via the Channel Tunnel
