    As dowlingm said www.irishrailwaynews.com should have times somewhere. Regarding where to get a decent picture maybe Malahide? You could get one from the platform of a train coming off the causeway. I'm sure theres loads of other places too, Skerries as a curve north of the station, that might make a good shot too.

    Tara's normally leave Navan at about 12.20pm, and Alexandra Tramway at 14.00.

    However these times are, as with IÉ freight in general, very sporadic!

    The entrance to the Alexandra Tramway can be a good place for Photo's, However the road after the entrance to Dublin Port is 'off limits' as it's part of the port complex and is private property.

    Drogheda would be probably your best spot for the Rugby specials.
    NIR may well use the Gatwicks or C3K Railcars on the route.

    I hope that's of help,

    Regards,
