Did the driver of the 2900 forget his lunch!😂 Nice catch, right place at the right time.

Here comes 11 entering the final corner... OH!! IT'S 207 ON THE OUTSIDE! As they enter the final corner 207 pulls ahead on the outside line, and 207 is across the line! it looks like 11 has some issues at the exit of the final turn it was just enough to secure him second place!

I didn’t know the GN mainline had Bi-Directional working.

@MetroVick Ай бұрын

Yes, bi-directional between Skerries & Balbriggan. As far as I recall Howth Jcn.-Connolly was signaled as bi-directional as part of DART CTC in early 1980s, not sure it it still is though.

Sorry for such a late response but yes, the line between Skerries and Balbriggan is bidirectional but only in the northbound direction, it's only really done to allow Enterprise trains to overtake commuter trains.

Is this a regular practice?. I'm used to some Enterprises overtaking DART trains at clongriffin, but didn't realise that regional trains run wrong road from Skerries to Balbriggan to facilitate overtaking also.

This is the only scheduled by-directional movement as far as I'm aware.

It's been done with different services between Balbriggan and Skerries for decades.

As it should be double tracking rail line....must of our railway lines were double tracked, and the government decided to take it up... Madness at the time, now they want to put back double tracking.....on very busy routes....
