The Suir Lee Knot railtour

Thanks to the kind co-operation of Iarnród Éireann, our first ever Cork-based railtour offers participants a rare chance to travel in a 2600 railcar set over the Limerick Junction-Waterford route; it is hoped to include stops to view the now-rare semaphore signaling installations at Clonmel along with the ITG base at Carrick-on-Suir where their restored 1956-built C Class diesel No.226 will be on display. For track bashers, we have requested that the train traverse the rarely used Tipperary Loop on the outbound leg. The train is wheelchair accessible.
