Tuesday 4th October 2016:
231 was decked out in IWT logos for a press event in Dublin Port on Tuesday 4th October. I pictured it passing Portarlington.
Wednesday 5th October 2016:
This evening had an interesting turn of events. I photographed the 1700 Heuston - Cork and 1705 Heuston - Tralee at Carn. Little over an hour later I was in Portarlington Station waiting to travel on the 1700 MKIV set to Kildare. Due to a smashed windscreen on 229 the train terminated at Ballybrophy and 3ICR 22047 worked the service forward 30 minutes late.
229 and its MKIV set worked the 1825 Portlaoise - Heuston calling only at Portarlington, Kildare and Newbridge to return it to Dublin for repairs to be carried out on 229 at Inchicore.
