DT is due shortly, expected to be on test over the summer and not on revenue earning runs until September. At present the plan is to run a morning and evening
peak service from Portadown to Carrick and back (this isnt 100% certain yet but is currently the plan) and be on stand by for enterprise failures during the
day.

NIR are going really wild! A service from Portadown and not going onto the Bangor line!
But that will be great news alright. I can just see something failing on a Bangor/Portadown or Larne line someday and it covering the links.

That would be a very interesting link Portadown to Carrickfergus, how long is it since a booked Loco hauled service train worked on the Larne line?

Cheers, was pretty sure some eagle eyed punter on here would have snapped her on route if she was already here. So much for September running then!
