Portlaoise (Rail), 11-06-2016
A quick visit to Portlaoise to see the extended Limerick - Ballybrophy bring the unusual sight of a 2800 in service at Portlaoise. Unfortunately, a mismatch in times from different sources meant the first sight was of the unit disappearing to Portarlington to reverse!

Doh moment - arrived too late! Due to issues with 8 car ICRs calling at Ballybrophy, necessary when engineering work reduces Dublin - Cork services to two-hourly, the Nenagh line service is extended to/from Portlaoise to provide connections. Due to signalling constraints at Portlaoise, the set has to run to Portarlington and back to reverse.
A mismatch between times from different sources meant we arrived shortly after the train departed to Portarlington - hence this view!
