Northern Ireland Railways 50th Anniversary

[@fergusalex]

70 class was my fav...…...river bush, river foyle, river roe, river lagan, river maine, river inver, river braid and river bann

80 Class OK for a nostalgia trip but half time the heating didn't work in them and you could get a foundering. And having to reach out the window to open the door was a headache too. My Dad worked for NIR so I was on them plenty. At least the 450s had electric doors. The late Mervyn Connolly could work miracles with NIR engines. I think he slipped them some of his whisky! 😁

Good job. My dad worked at Great Victoria St. When it was UTA.

Thanks Matty. This video is one of the most amazing and informative on the net, I take my hat off to you. I keep coming back and rewatching parts of the video.
One comment about the Railbus, it was used mainly between Coleraine and Portrush during the winter months. I have a few good photos of it in action, must scan them.
Had no ideo about the 70s Class engines being put into 450 class units. The only info I ever heard was about the asbestos and them all being burried in a quarry in Crumlin I think. Oh and I have some 70 class colour sound footage taken from Super 8 to add soon.
Thanks again Matty. You are AMAZING - TRULY AMAZING. Irish train fans across the world are absolutely indebted to you.

Great piece of work. Any idea why so much of the rolling stock lasts for such a short time compared to 'over the water'?

[@trainsandbusesirelandandbeyond]

Just a wee question for you! I've seen some videos of you trainspotting in railway depots, would I have permission to do so if I were to? If I do how do I get in?

The repening of the Western Rail Corridor & Midlands links would reconnect Northern Ireland with the West & Midlands by trains.

Lovely Video ! But Irish Rail Have Better Train

[@belfastbusfan]

Irish Railways meh

[@RailVideosNI]

Thanks now days Irish rail has a decent fleet but its not as good as it used to be. Before NIR's cafs arrived I do think NIR was alot better with the thumpers running

[@emeraldislevideography4484]
