It's not the usual place to start out on a day exploring "Ireland's Hidden Heartlands" by bus and rail.
First up is @irishrail 0900 Ballybrophy to Limerick, which I'll take to Nenagh from Roscrea.

After a great couple of days in London, we are now Birmingham bound for the night. A few WCML issues meant we hopped on the delayed 1216 EUS-BNS formed of 807002 (grab shot), so in effect, we're now early.
Oh and I saw the NSE Networker at Victoria!

Back in the old haunts of Morden for the GAA match, where my Grandparents lived up to the early 90's (both sides of it). While changing from Tram to Bus at Mitcham, the bus stop was a stones throw from the house they lived in up to 1987, so I couldn't resist a photo.

A splendid visit to the @heritageparkwex today9. The site brings you on a 9,000-year journey and see Irish history brought to life, over 35 acres of native woodland, marsh & shoreline. The park is divided in half by the Dublin to Rosslare @irishrail. 22030 heads to Rosslare.

A networking day today with some industry colleagues from the UK in Dublin. But a nice way to finish up was seeing 222 working a 1920 Inchicore to Limerick Jct. and return trial, which was hot on the heels of the 1900 Heuston to Cork.
Plenty of photos to sort & edit from today!

Change of train @ #Portarlington, now time to head west on the Friday Only 0735 Heuston-Westport with 22057+22029. The rest of the week, the 0735 ex Heuston goes to Galway with a connection for Westport at Athlone, but heavy pax loadings ex Westport dictate the FO arrangement.
