    Hey all this is a pretty unorthodox question but I was wondering if anyone knows the time tables of Cargo trains (071's etc) between Waterford and Dublin? I know there is one at like 7am, and another at 11pm. But during the week I see random ones passing sometimes throughout the day, I dont get to see these enough to actually note the times or if they are regular. I say this because I'm dying to get a video of one. Any help would be appreciated

    What's the story with IRN ? Is it a sort of closed shop ? What are the chances of getting a railway enthusiasts forum here - I thought we were half on our way when a railway forum was requested last year ?

    If you sign up with IRN you will be able to ask for info about freight workings on their message board. There is very little these days anyway. Ballina/Dublin and Ballina/Waterford and Tara Mines/North Wall are the main traffic flows. Try checking out the photo gallery section on their board.

    I believe IRN are more tight on accepting new members as there was "hassle" with certain individuals when they were on a different system (MSN ?). Given some of the posts on this site over the last few months you can't really blame them! You should still be able to view the board though with out being a member, I can anyway. There seems to be a good bit of loco sighting threads which should give some indication of what days the various freight flows operate.

    Well that's one criticism that can't be levelled at boards, a few taps on the keyboard and you're in !:)

    Should we have another go at requesting a recreational based railway forum, does anybody think ??? Looking under 'Rec' earlier I noted they have a forum dedicated to 'mustard' enthusiasts ? A railway forum would be a hell of a lot more amusing and informative than that especially with our resident projectionist and his Mr Porter movies !!! :D
