Business as usual on platform 1 in #Maynooth as an #IrishRail Commuter unloads Christmas shoppers while the #RPIS Santa Special pulled by 071 Diesel loco No. 075 prepares to depart for the return leg to Dublin.
This scene captures the railway history of my nearly 3 decades travelling this line. Back in 1997 071 class locos pulled all the InterCities and their smaller cousins the Commuter services. Now it’s Diesel Multiple Units for all.
