We're having a planning meeting this evening. It will be a bit different to previous seasons, and while we are not in a position to operate another mainline tour just yet, we've got a few new twists up our sleeves that we don't think have been done before...

CAF cousins in Connolly. Throwback to our "Premier Rose" railtour which was the first passenger working of a mkIV carriage set from Dublin Connolly. This provided a now rare opportunity to photo one beside a 29000 class railcar. Both were manufactured by CAF in Spain.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us on our "On the Laois" tour today, we think you'll agree that the teams at The Steam Museum and Stradbally Woodland Railway put on an excellent show for us. We'll have a full report in due course.

Next stop, the Stradbally Woodland Railway, where "Róisín" becomes the fourth steam locomotive to take part in one of our tours.

First stop on today's tour was the Steam Museum at Straffan. Great to meet with the museum's founder, Robert C. Guinness, seen here with three of our Directors, Wesley Molloy, Alex Richardson and David Walsh. 📷 Adrian Dawe
