The Cú na Mara International set. I remember being on it on one of its first runs. Still had British rail seats and logos on the interior. Lime Green with navy stripes if I remember correctly. Also had my first cab ride on 216... Brought back memories ... Awesome video ..

Wonder where the short mk3 set with 5 coaches was going, possibly the lunchtime Westport service, I recall travelling on this once as load 5 in the mid 90s.

I really enjoyed watching this. Some of it was filmed right outside my old office!

216 is in the Belmond Grand Hibernian livery, but that train is being moved to Europe, so 216 will probably be repainted Intercity livery. 204 is one of the ten locos (201-205 and 210-214) which went into storage in 2009 and are being cannibalised for parts for the operational 201's. 230 is also in storage after been destroyed by fire caused by the HEP (Head End Power) mode.

Wasn't it a very poor reflection on Irish Rail, how filthy they allowed many of the engines to become. 187 in this clip is a perfect example

And the number of 201s sidelined,that didn’t make any sense.

187 and 154 were being used for shunting duties... moving trains between Heuston and the maintenance depot (not Inchicore but that blue shed near Heuston Station). 187 or 154 pulls a train out beyond the depot, then reverses it into the shed, and goes away until it's ready. Later in the day 187 or 154 would return to pull the train out of the depot and reverse it into Heuston in time for its next service.
