206, Dublin Connolly, 14-10-2017

2017_10140003 It's still quite dark in the trainshed at Connolly, as 206 stands silent at the buffer stops having brought round the RPSI Cravens for the tour from Inchicore the previous evening.

206-2017_07250109 Another of the former tram link Omnitowns, 206 is seen running into the city on what I think is a 16. Don't you just love LED displays! I only noted when processing the matching ads on the bus and the parked taxi it is about to pass!

20622053-2015_02280025 The 1325 Galway - Heuston arrives, clearing the road for the IWT to head west.

206-2015_02280020 The livery appears to be designed to give the look of a unit train, with a definite start and end. I am perhaps a traditionalist, but to me the livery ignores the form of the loco on which it is applied, which in general is not a great idea in design terms. It almost looks like some has taken the profile of an Optare Versa bus and stuck it on the side!

206, Portarlington, 28-02-2015

206-2015_02280014 This cab will generally be coupled to the train on its normal workings - at least in theory!

206-2015_02280016 I haven't photographed a 201 waiting for the Galway line here since the days of the loco-hauled 1750 Heuston - Galway! The gaudy colours of 206 provide a definite contrast...

206, Portarlington, 28-02-2015

206-2015_02280024 The swirls on the side - totally unrelated to the shape and design of the loco.

206-2015_02280013 206 waits for the road on to the single line towards Tullamore. It was not booked to wait here, but due to the late running of the 1325 Galway - Heuston, the 1410 Heuston - Galway was sent forward so the two passenger trains could pass at Geashill rather than Portarlington to minimise delays, so this had to wait for the up Galway train to arrive here.
