| 053 | Limerick - Ennis (1) - Athenry - Athlone - Kildare - Dublin Connolly - Bray |
Notes :
(1) Tour should have gone back to Limerick then Limerick Junction to Cork but
due to line being blocked due to a derailment at Dromkeen between Limerick &
Limerick Junction it went north from Ennis (which was rather rare at time) to
Atherney then continued on to Dublin & Bray.
