Notes:
Tour diverted from original route through Roscommon due to derailment involving 211 a few days before the tour ran. New route was probably better as it was via Athenry and the freight line through Tuam to Claremorris. Due to the longer route, the tour did not serve Dun Loaghaire on the way back, reversing at Dublin Connolly.
