Evening folks,

Some pictures from Portarlington, Monasterevin and Cherryville during the temporary timetable for the Ballast Cleaning Works. Plans to get some pictures of the top and tailed Ballast Train this evening were derailed after what can only be best described in the railway term of "operational problems".

Where did they get the 22000 seats? I'm guessing from when they created the bike spaces?

Design wise. The new look Enterprise train looks excellent.

It is a pity though that vandals will eventually wreck or block it at any time it crosses the border.

Morning all,

Last weekend I headed to Brussels with a group of friends, but took the scenic route there and back again. Taking inspiration from one of the original nicknames of the Eurostar Class 373 sets the gallery from that weekend is called "The Three Capitals" with pictures from London, Brussels and Paris (CDG).
