Portlaoise (Bus), 15-09-2018

More unusual bus activity at the station. Due to the replacement of pointwork at Thurles, the line was closed between Portlaoise and Limerick Junction, with bus replacement between those two points. Two services were operated - one direct to Limerick Junction for through passengers, the other service Ballybrophy, Templemore and Thurles. Organised as usual by Bernard Kavanagh, various hired in vehicles also appeared.
