Spare ticket if you PM me. Coach A so front out of Cork.

Banteer just now

I was on this myself yesterday. Went without a hitch, great day all round.

I'd like to express my gratitude to all the hardworking staff and volunteers of the RPSI and Iarnrod Eireann who worked hard to create what can only be regarded as a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable day out.
It was great after many years of talking on various forums to put genuine flesh on faces who I only previously knew as names on the internet. 
Thank you all. And - I hope to meet you all in Dublin again soon!

Didn’t seem to break a sweat really. Sailed up the bank at Killarney too, not a bother. Then again there was about 4,500hp up front!

Yeah fair point. This might have been answered but why have CIE/IR never allowed 071s work together before this special ? From the videos I've seen there was no problems.

Weight concerns and also no need for that much power.
