They seem to have used anything they had on that line. Push pull makes sense for Kilkenny though. What is that step thing at 8:42 for. Not really suitable for disability access it seems (?).

[@TheIrishMainline]

Steps were needed in Thomastown to board as there was a 2 foot drop to the platform!

[@thomasnorton2679]

Were you a fan of the 201s when they were brand new Danny, or were they viewed with the same contempt that every new class is shown and require some getting used to?

[@TheIrishMainline]

Never liked them the first day I clapped eyes on them....and still don't!

[@trainsinireland5063]

Excellent Scenes from the Good Years Danny!😃.When did the Bell Liner Freight Trains cease operation?.

[@TheIrishMainline]

Thanks Alan. They ceased in 1997 when Bell Lines went bankrupt.

Who is the woman who opens and closes the barriers? Does she live there? Does she work for Iarnrod Éireann?

[@TheIrishMainline]

The 2 girls were nieces of the people who lived there (now both sadly passed) and were employed by IÉ.
