17th June was a disaster of a day around Dublin due to being unable to get accurate information, and the train running earlier than even I expected. Finally caught up with No. 4 at Mullingar.

If 17th June in Dublin was bad then 23rd June in Belfast was even worse. 186 was booked on a mystery tour, it certainly was a mystery to me. This was the best that I could achieve, sorry.
