About this Event

The Midlander - Train 2

We are delighted to invite you on board our special steam train trip "The Midlander" on Sunday 17th May 2026.

Hauled by our amazingly restored steam locomotive No.171 we will depart from Dublin Connolly station at 15:05 and travel out through the Dublin suburbs along the Royal Canal to the university town of Maynooth. The amazing sight and sounds of our train will delight young and old.

At Maynooth the locomotive will unhook and run around to the opposite end of the train to return to Dublin Connolly where we retrace our steps along "The Midland".

We have a snack car on board and for the adults a full bar serving draught Guinness and selection of beers, wines, spirits and much more. Great craic is guaranteed.

Please note that as with all our steam specials, we endeavor to operate this special with our advertised steam locomotive. We only have one operational locomotive available, therefore in the event of a failure of this locomotive or in a period of hot and prolonged dry weather, we may have to substitute the steam locomotive with a diesel locomotive. Please make all aware of this when booking tickets, as tickets will not be refunded in this instance.
