East Coaster Railcruise – gone west!
Whitehead RPSI-Sligo-returnOur next outing is the East Coaster Rail Cruise Gone West on Saturday 9 September, originally scheduled to run to Rosslare, but now diverted to Sligo. The train will be operated by our friends in RPSI, and will consist of the RPSI’s Mk2 carriages – it is now due to be hauled by an NIR 111 class locomotive throughout, and to operate via the rarely used Newcomen Junction in both directions.
