Evening all,

Another week-long update from me, this time from Heuston and Portlaoise, with a couple of Moon shots as well (between the clouds!). Photos include the first 0800 Heuston - Cork booked as a Mark 4 diagram for a long time, the start of an external deep clean of the ICRs and a couple of track machines in Heuston. As always, click on the photo below to view them all

Evening all,

On Monday, 21st November Iarnród Éireann launched the new Newbridge / Hazelhatch and Celbridge - Grand Canal Dock commuter service. Initially just peak-hour services monday to Friday, loadings were surprisingly good for day 1, with general positive feedback from passengers. I was on the first service, the 0614 Newbridge - Grand Canal Dock (and am featured in a television news report!). In addition to doing the first run, I went out along the Maynooth line, south to Bray and also had a look at the Luas Cross City works, before finishing off at a very cold Hazelhatch on more GCD services.

As always, click on the photos below to view them all
