jhb171achil Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Update; this event will actually take place at the railway site, beside Peacocke's Hotel. It will be at 3pm. Railtours Ireland are considering running a day trip by train and coach from Dublin. If you are interested in going, contact railtoursireland.com. Hope to see you there!

leslie10646 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 JB is being very coy about his super book, so here is the cover front and back The Syndicate - which has been raising funds for Irish railway preservation for the last fifty years - is selling this long-awaited book in the UK (only) for £16.95 post paid. If interested, please e-mail me at lesliemcallister@aol.com and I'll provide bank details. Profits from sales of this book through us will go to the Connemara Railway Project. I look forward to hearing from you. Leslie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted August 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2021 Despite the great covers the bit in between is even better! A great read and shared with friends at work, several flick reads got comments on great photos of a time past and notes on battle scars and staff errors and omissions ! A good record of the past and despite much source material some bits tantalisingly just out of touch. I would love to see an A 4 sized plan of the hotel !

jhb171achil Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Thank you for the comments, folks, much appreciated. As you see above, the “Syndicate” can supply mail order in the U.K.; I received a consignment today and can do some mail order in Ireland. Irish price is probably going to be €19.95, though I need to confirm this. Ping me privately if interested.

That would have been amazing!!! Folks - in general - I forgot to mention that in order to comply with covid regulations regarding numbers attending, can I ask anyone planning to go if they can just fire off a RSVP to info@railtoursireland.ie. Many thanks, and see you there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
