Great vid and thanks to those mainly RPSI who contributed their locos to the show as well ! Am sure it was a great day out for all and a wonderful place to capture passing trains 😊
worked in irish rail for 35 years,when i retired i did not even get a letter of recognition for my 35 years service,a colleague who retired a short time later, no recognition either,we both would have had a good work and attendence record,in january 2023,eighteen months after i RETIRED the last of my pension entitlements were finally paid out ,thats how long it took to be finalised,treat their employees same as their customers,
I've heard from a few people that there is a toxic work culture in the company. That was bad of them not to acknowledge your years of service for the company.
I myself am in the company for the past 30 years I recently was to receive a watch for my 25 years service only to be summoned to my managers office for a ten minutes slot to receive it....I refuse to accept it in this manner as other colleagues within the company are properly treated by being brought out for a meal and presented properly.... after working with the company for such a long time you would think a small bit more effort by managers would go a long way....I also know of a driver who received his 25 year watch driving through a station... Seems to me more needs to be done by management within the company.
Lads sadly it’s the way now of all big companies who are run to ignore workers rather than recognise them. I worked for a huge international airline and all I got was a cheap scroll given to me on my lunch breaks as I ate my sannies
Very good film Stephen. A lovely sunny day for it. Nice display of locos and rolling stock with the joy of passing trains. Good work to all involved and the public seems to have come out in good numbers to enjoy. Thanks
I was on going to Limerick on the train two days after the event took place and saw a class 201 Enterprise and the Dart class 8500 parked up just as I was heading back into Dublin. Up until this video I had no idea why they there until I saw this video. A shame I wasn't there but this definitly looked liked something I would love to attend.
Great video & one I found very interesting . Not a part of Dublin that I’ve been too . But would one day like too . Loved all the history around the works & the engines etc .
Amazing place!!! Remember passing it bound for The West...summer holidays Ex Dublin Heuston And on the return Bound for Dun Laoghaire and London Euston Correct me if wrong but I seem to recall that when CIE bought coaches from Metro Cammell of Birmingham They were sent over in kit form To be assembled in Inchicore Irish built rolling stock! Daresay Metro Cammell had Irish working in the factory...
Great video. It was indeed a great occasion and good to be back. However as the old buildings remain , it's sad to see the engineering carried out in these buildings has long disappeared. The once best equipped machine shop in the country is no longer, carriage shops look almost redundant, engine overhauls now in old wagon shop and not diesel 1. The best apprentice training centre in the country is no longer . The great memories of working there in the 90's remain.
Brilliant Footage you Filmed Stephen!😃.I wonder will we ever see the 2700 Class DMU Trains back in Train Service again?.I have heard it being said that they still start them up from time to time, but it doesn't look like they have touched or moved much from your footage.Did you ever get any footage of them when they were in Train Service?.
Thank you, I would have my doubts about that, I'd recon they're for scrap, they had them closed off to the public on the open day, I only managed to get a glimpse of them. I have hardly any video of them when they were in service, I've only like 4 shots of them at Limerick back in 2009 or 2010 while on a rail tour.
Maybe for freight or engineering trains, but definitely not for passenger use, its unlikely they'll ever come back as they already have a sufficient amount of locomotives for the duties they need to run.
I’d love to see at least one first class carriage on every Irish Rail long distance/InterCity service and even some shorter commuter services outside of peak hours - living in the U.K. and coming home to Ireland on SailRail from Holyhead frequently, I would be prepared to pay a little extra for first class
Local residents were not informed of this event. The siege of parking and disrespect was a shame on the cie group and letters of complaint have followed.

Thank you, can't wait to see it on the mainline
How long till on the main line
Thanks, enjoyed that. Loved the models of Amiens Street and Kingsbridge stations

Fabulous video mate and a real insight into the scale of the Works.
Wow, I've never seen a 8 car ICR working a route, great catch.
Great Video and Not a 'Stary bud' or an 'Ah heeeur' to be heard, thank god. That 071 in classic livery looked amazing.
i was at this event yesterday and it was amazing! awsome footage, great video.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Sad i missed this, would love to go, Great Grandfather worked and lived right beside the works
Good to see 224 being brought back to life.

Probably because it is no longer as labour intensive as a company
What a wonderful event
It really was
Very nice... I wish I was there to see all these...
Thank you, it was a brilliant day, they had a wonderful display.
Nice to meet you finally this is James i was Rpsi volunteer yesterday
Likewise James, was a brilliant day out.
superb stuff ste looks like every one enjoyed the event
Thank you Joe, it was a brilliant day out 👍
Great video! Was there aswell! Was a brilliant day!
Thank you, loved every bit of it myself!
Great footage I was there last week and it was a great event
Thank you. It was indeed, hopefully they host more events like this in the future.
that was a really good day
amazing video! 👍
Thank you very much, it certainly was a great day out!
@@irishrailtrains will there be another open day next year?
i was there yesterday. i had a good luck at the 071 and 082 gm.
071 looks well with the CIE logos back on it, the new logo didn't suit it.
@@irishrailtrains what type of diesel fuel does gm trains use.?
Had a wedding to go to, do unfortunately missed the event. Great video Stephen
Thank you very much 👍
OMG IT WAS AMAZING
Cheers for that tried getting tickets no go 👍
Thank you, the tickets all sold out within a matter of days
Just showed my mam the video was telling me stories how her family used to work there year's ago
What was with the 3+5 consist on one of the passing 22000s?
Amazing. It was a great day
Thanks, it really was!
Cool !!!!!!

I doubt they ever get running again because they were unreliable i heard. They look so sad left there to rot away
2700 class DMU is still used on the Cork commuter line no? (Cork-Midleton and cork-Cobh)
@@tonycallahan4488 No thats done by the 2800s
@@Irish-Transport-Photography2600s．
The 2800s go there rarely if a 2600 is being serviced.
nice vid stevie twas a beautiful day
Thanks Ste, it certainly was.
It’s no wonder one of the DART units has artwork on it celebrating the anniversary.
Sad to see so many of the locomotives abandoned and out of use. Surely a few of them can be renovated for shuttle use or freight.
Maybe for freight or engineering trains, but definitely not for passenger use, its unlikely they'll ever come back as they already have a sufficient amount of locomotives for the duties they need to run.
Is nobody gonna talk about how the Heuston station model had a 22000 carriage hauling a MkIV set on one of the platforms
I was there yesterday hope you enjoyed
It was a brilliant day out, just wished they did that more often.
Yeah I agree it really is a one in a lifetime experience
I wish I came there,well where was it held?I was in tipp, beautiful footage,I love to climb in that steam engine
It was held at Inchicore works, it was a self guided tour of the facility, I stayed there the whole day.
Can anyone tell me when the next big open day is at Inchicore works?
Bro I was at inchicore today
nostalgia overload 10:28
Great Video
Thanks 👍
Great video👍👌🚅🍀
Thank you 👍
Wish I were there
I was completely unaware 😫
Will there be another one of these events next year?
No unfortunatley, this was just for the 175th anniversary
Was that a 2600 or a 2800 which still has the gangway at 17:36?
It's a 2600. All of the 2600s still have their gangways.
Great video I would love to go to an open day at Inchore works it looks great by the way is the 121 Class loco going to be used on Railtours soon
Thank you, yes it will, however it still needs to be tested before that can happen.
Ah okay thanks by the way have you heard about the 111 Railtour
@@TrainVideosNI I have indeed, I'll be definitely out for that!

Hi Stephen, love the channel question for you I'm dying to see a class 71 is there anywhere I could go see one these days? Thanks!
Thank you, Best bet is North Wall Yard as you can see them working both Tara Mines and IWT liners.
@@irishrailtrains Ah cheers much appreciated.
@@irishrailtrains What times
Is this on every year?
Seems to be every 10 years or so. The last one was back in 2009.
If there was ever funding for widespread electrification across Irish Railways, the diesel units would be redundant.
Thankfully, there won't be 😂
super photage
Cheers 👍

Boo hoo… I live beside croke park how do you think I feel on match day when my entire area shuts down seriously it’s one day get over yourselves
