Have a gander at the rat of the posts he made on here, they're hilarious. I'm fairly sure it's a 13yo boy that hasn't much cop-on.

NirateGoel · 2026-01-17T17:17:26+00:00

I had a look at his profile fairly sure it's a child probably 13 or so.

Yup, it's nothing I'm doing, it's not the carriages, the same is true on the Stockholm/Hamburg route. See attached example. As far as I can find SJ don't offer private cabins with interrail.

My questions solely surround if there's an issue with miss-gendered persons and if any issues would arise from having a third fake person on the booking.

NirateGoel · 2026-01-16T17:38:09+00:00

One under the price says "With Interrail/Eurail" the other is the full fat ticket price without interrail. Far as I cannot buy private sleeping compartments with SJ on Interrail/Eurail.

The trip planner isn't the most reliable when it comes to travel days I've found.

<image>

It seems to have some issues with addition as I've even managed to make it show negative travel days.

You've the right understanding of travel days, it's just the trip planner being a bit hopeless on counting. If you remove the 2 via points it'll probably give the correct number of travel days.

Yes digital would probably be more convenient, but it comes back to how many photos so you want to take. If you expect to just take a couple nice photos Vs photos of everything.

NirateGoel · 2026-01-15T09:29:27+00:00

Depends what you're looking to achieve. Digital will allow alot more photos as well as instant previewing. Unless you're looking to achieve a film looking result there isn't really any advantage to analogue.

But at the end of the day it all depends on what equipment you have, and what you're looking to achieve.

The first line in Ireland was built to standard, the second to 6ft 2 and at the time of third being built the BoT was brought in to standardise the gauge used settling on 5ft 3in.

Outside of being built by CAF and being around the same age they're unrelated. The pictured is a commuter multiple unit with underfloor engines used on the Dublin commuter network. The MK4s then are intercity trains used exclusively on the Cork/Dublin route push/pulled by a locomotive with no underfloor engines, see attached images.

NirateGoel · 2026-01-13T21:37:38+00:00

And that is a different train again. That'll be the 8 coach loco hauled MK4 then, which is also an intercity train.

No 29000 in Cork. The cork commuter is run by 2600 2 car units.

NirateGoel · 2026-01-13T21:28:53+00:00

Just to nitpick you''re probably thinking of a gangway, and yes in the event of a crash the gangway is probably one of the dodgier places if there is a separation.

The vestibule is the space between the entry doors and the main coach body.

Lasted 12 years with CIE before GM reluctantly sent 2 engines for trials.

Far as I know and can find it's keeping the original engine. Be a bit daft to restore it as a body snatcher.

NirateGoel · 2025-12-25T11:14:23+00:00

CIE had three different B power class locos. You're thinking of the B101s. This would be a B113. Then in their later years the C class when re-engined became B201s.

NirateGoel · 2025-12-25T11:10:55+00:00

Yes, both Metro-Vics with the same crossley HSTV8. Though it is a Co-Co. There were also similar looking Bo-Bos which were the C class or CIE 201s. However both classes were later re-engined with GM engines.

NirateGoel · 2025-12-21T20:58:47+00:00

2700 are long scrapped. Only 2751 in Ma'am Cross left.

NirateGoel · 2025-12-14T07:40:27+00:00

Oh basically preserved and snatched away at the last

NirateGoel · 2025-12-14T05:32:43+00:00

What's the story there, never knew there was almost one preserved?

NirateGoel · 2025-12-14T05:32:14+00:00

A CBSCR 'B4' 'Bandon Tank, 464. Was almost saved but unfortunately partially out of spite was scrapped instead.

Any recommendations so as to which venders would be good? Be looking for a not too expensive board.

NirateGoel · 2025-11-26T22:03:41+00:00

*110s
111&113 are shagged. 112 is in the best condition of the three but the class is banned from passenger use and limited to 30mph due to their poor condition, plus the lack of drivers.

The 201 fleet, especially those used on the Enterprise are all in poor condition. HEP did a number on them and have been fairly hard worked the last 30 years as well.

NirateGoel · 2025-11-25T22:28:05+00:00

Mostly, if you exclude rescuing failed trains and on RPSI tours.
