    The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland is delighted to announce the latest in the (delayed) series of diesel railtours.

    It is scheduled to depart from Dublin (Connolly) at 08:20 and head north from the capital, operating via the running loop in Skerries and the bi-directional line to Balbriggan. There will be a passenger pick up stop in Drogheda and then on to Dundalk. Here the loco will run around before heading back south again to Dublin at 10:00. Along the way there will be some photo stops in Laytown and Skerries.

    A loco change has been requested in Dublin before the train once again sets off, this time heading west to Galway from Dublin Connolly at 11:55. There will be a number of photo stops along the route and a break of 1½ hours in Galway, before a swift return to Dublin at 16:45.

    As with previous diesel railtours this one is sure to very popular and will sell out quickly so don't delay and get your booking in as soon as possible.
