November 2011
Friday 4th and Saturday 5th November 2011:
Pictures from Killarney and Farranfore of 22007 at the start of a weekend visit to Co. Kerry, along with a few pictures of Killarney House in the National Park.
But bigger events were happening in the South East of the Country. With the Dublin - Rosslare line closed at Lansdowne Road due to a damaged river bridge the Rosslare line service was terminating / starting at Bray. With no access to maintenance facilities and the prospect of the line being closed for up to two weeks the decision was made to swap the 3 diesel trains ( 1 x 22000 and 2 x 29000) trapped south of the closure via the mothballed Rosslare Strand - Waterford railway line. The transfers would have to take place over two days with the 22000 being swapped on Friday 4th November and the 29000's being swapped the following day on Saturday 5th November. 22009 replaced 22003, while 29005 + 29027 replaced 29006 + 29018.
Thanks to "Mr. Church" for allowing me to me to use the photographs of the Waterford - Rosslare stock transfers on the website.

One photo from Balally this afternoon of 5020 arriving at the tram stop.
