On Saturday the 15th of June 2024, the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland ran quite a special railtour to mark the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the 201 class locomotives, which were introduced in 1994.
This would also be the first time that a passenger hauled 201 train would traverse the entire Rosslare line to Rosslare Europort.
The started off at Dublin Heuston Station with 071 class loco number 084 hauling the train to Kildare, from there 219 would work the train from Kildare - Rosslare Europort, then Rosslare Europort - Dublin Connolly.

Absolutely fantastic I was a volunteer steward on board

That was great, thanks. Quite the drive too, seriously well done capturing all those locations. I think it's my favourite line, I really must get over there more. Thanks again

Great video, Impressive to get so many locations in one day!

Brilliant compilation and nice to see the turntable at Rosslare Harbour looking so well. It's still a disgrace that the rail head was moved away from the integrated ferry terminal, about fifteen years ago now, and of course that the direct services from Limerick and Waterford ceased! P.S. I hope that video on the quays in Wexford wasn't shot from a left-hand drive car😅

Nice work Stephen

Really excellent Video composition. Holy cow, I didn't think a 201 could fit on that turn table, how did the table cope with the weight of the 201, my brain was thinking wow they are going to turn her, but why as dual cab modern era diesel electric loco would they need to! Would love to do that trip some day on a proper steam train.

I was on this; I found it odd how quiet it was at Rosslare Harbour though, especially on a summer afternoon.

Hi. I like Your videos. Could You give me a good location and time to spot a class 071 in Dublin or around please. Thank You.

What route did it take from Kildare to Rosslare? The Phoenix Park tunnel?

@MervynPartin Месяц назад

Fascinating on several counts:- Coaches with seats at the windows- reminiscent of the days when train travel was comfortable and you could watch the scenery! The coaches looked like they had B4 bogies. Were they British built? Do they belong to the RPSI or were they chartered? When I saw the turntable, for a moment I thought that they were going to turn a twin-cabbed loco. I hope that the tour was a success- the weather was good and the route looked very interesting.

@toyotaprius79 Месяц назад

Just a shame there was no steam loco pulling the train. Seems obvious (besides cost) but wouldn't the Irish Steam Preservation society not benefit from running an auxiliary push-pull GM diesel on the back. Or even acquire a battery powered tenders ?

@theaccountofmine.8779 Месяц назад

It’s literally the one line with a turn table at the end, so why push-pull? If it’s in the event of a failure, I think the money could be spent than building a battery tender. “Here’s enough funding to have an auxiliary system because we know you’re going to fail.” Yeah, I’d rather they just sort their crap out instead, like learning how to communicate properly during failures.

Shame the 201s never had a supertrain livery

@thomasbroderick767 Месяц назад

201s lasted barely 20yrs,all now parked up in inchicore works,engines seized from being to the elements ,exhaust stacks were not covered over and vandalised from trespassers gaining unauthorised entry from outside
