Sunday 12 august

Does anyone know if the train will be staying in skerries station?

I have tried to ring skerries station but can't get an answer at the momen.

I would like to take a couple of young kids up to see it so if I knew it was stopping for say half an hour or so we could make an outing of it.

Thanks

It would be stopped at Skerries for a while given that the train is changing direction there, no idea how long exactly, but 20 mins minimum

According to the schedule I seen this evening at the dinner table, the train arrives and departs from Skerries Loop and the carriages do not actually visit the station but the Steam loco will of course during the run round.

The train just passed Clongriffin at 11:10 heading north. Loco 461 + steam gen van + 6 Cravens, 3 in IE orange and 3 in RPSI blue.
