Great footage! Extremely rare to see a 201 class on the sligo line. First time I seen one and I live just along the line coming into the station.

[@TheIrishMainline]

ravinndaire Thanks a lot m8! They were always a rare sight along that section, only ever to be spotted on the now defunct Sligo - Waterford timber. They never worked a revenue earning passenger service afaik.

Thanks Stephen

[@AndreiTupolev]

Ah, nice steam heat. Good horn, I wondered if it was stuck.

[@TheIrishMainline]

By the sounds of it in this and a few other vids I'd say it was sticking a bit.
