The trip to Dublin was to view the final unrefurbished Enterprise set working to Belfast. The final set was withdrawn from service upon arrival at Belfast. The first of the refurbished sets is expected to enter service later in September. Until then the Enterprise service will be covered by Northern Ireland Railway's 3000 Class on two diagrams with the 3rd diagram covered by one of Iarnrod Eireann's 5 car 22000 Class.

Evening folks,
Yesterday it was Carlow and today I had to visit Roscrea. Later in the evening I drove down to the Monaincha Wind Farm. This is near the Ballybrophy to Limerick via Nenagh Railway, while waiting to photograph the 30 minute late 1900 Ballybrophy to Limerick. This was worked unusually by 2601 + 2602. The 2600 Class are normally to be found working suburban services from Cork to Cobh / Midleton and Mallow.

A small update to earlier. 22001 returns to service earlier tonight working the 1935 Heuston - Galway after 7 months as a testbed for the new CAWS/ATP Hybrid signalling system.
To avoid the set being stored for the next 18 months it has been decided to make up a hybrid set. This involved reconfiguring set 22001 and 22002 to place the two modified cabs of 22001 on different units. The two modified cabs are coupled together (in the middle) and marked as "not end of train"cabs. This means sets 22001 + 22002 will operate in service as a fixed formation 6 car train formed as 22302 + 22402 + 22201 + 22301 + 22401 + 22202. The work to reform the sets took place on Wednesday 27th August.

Morning all,
Ballast Cleaning was in operation at Clonkeen, south of Portlaoise. As a result a temporary 2 hour interval timetable was in operation on the Dublin - Cork line today with the through services from Dublin to Limerick & Tralee cancelled. A hourly Commuter service operated between Heuston & Newbridge with Galway / Westport and Cork services making additional stops at selected stations between Portarlington & Newbridge.
