3173 looks smart in its new livery! First time in a very long time the Dublin set has had no orange/black!

I have some memories of that season, not all of them fond and few of them warm. One of the Sunday trips saw a rare failure of a 29000 set at Maynooth which meant that it was impossible to run around. To free up the line and to minimise delays the order was made that 4 and the Heritage set would travel onwards to Enfield to perform the manoeuvre.
In the panic nobody remembered told Mr. Claus of the amended plans. The result of that that he spend 90 minutes hiding in a water closet before he appeared to meet the children for the return trip

I see a driver change there in Portlaoise in your photo- I have wondered is there a driver depot there, and if so, do the drivers have to get to the train care depot or the permanent way depot to pick up trains, and how?0 -

The actual location isn't great for photos. Best I can think of is this photo. Athlone - Mullingar Branch behind the train.

The staff concerned in the picture were returning to Heuston from Laois Traincare. Not on driving duties.
Portlaoise is unusual in that it has two drivers depots, both sub depots of Heuston. One depot is for the PWD Trains and the second depot is at Laois Traincare for taking trains into & out of the depot.0 -

LTCD drivers don't just go into the depot, they also work to Heuston, Cork and Carlow.
