    This chap delayed us for a few moments outside Galway Station as you have to change tracks so i leaned out of a window to get some snaps as he passed before we could move onto his track:

    Trainspotter :o:D

    BTW that Vampire was never in Air Corps service. It was used as a trainer for the apprentices. Last time I saw in Baldonnel it was in full RAF markings. I know I'm an anorak!

    It must have been ages ago...
    And it's not T.55 as the rest of IAC Vampires, but T.11. Not a difference really, just interesting

    I hate trains as I get the "callcutta express" from coolmine into coolmine every morning to Pearse and home again. There isnt room to breath, overcrowding is horrible and people turn into animals on it when its really full. Irish rail seriously need to increase capacity on the commuter lines.
