great footage there Danny, the presidential coach defo looks well, i caught 461 tearing through portmarknock like as if there was no tomorrow

Thanks, it's hard to believe the coach is 40 years old, looks like new. One of the RPSI's easier preservation jobs that's for sure! :)

[@TheIrishMainline]

Look forward to your vid btw, suppose it was taken 'blind' with your screen on the blink?

[@joeykn9014]

your welcome man with the look of it you'd swear irish rail just only bought it and i'll have the footage from all 5 days up in the next hour or 2 i caught the trip blind and it turned out better then i thought :)

Wow! Excellent stuff:) The presidential coach is really beautiful, why doesn't the President use it any more though....

[@TheIrishMainline]

Thanks again :> It last ran way back in 2002 for Mary McAleese and since then (due to the Mk2 withdrawls) I think one of the Mk3 executive coaches was used for the purpose. Not sure what the story is now unless the Mk4 1st class coaches are used??

Michael D probably just gets an armoured convoy instead...

[@IrishModelRail]

I agree, they should definitely try to organise something if the Orient Express doesn't get off the ground.
