A little good news story for today. I contacted @IrishRail to ask for a bit of help with Emmet's Halloween costume - I just need a list of train driver uniform items (I was going to get similar bits in Dunnes uniform shop & stick some printed out logos on them) They replied ...

And said to leave it with them. A couple of lovely people got back to me & said they'd leave a few packages in Connolly station to be picked up for Emmet. So I collected some VERY generous packages of uniforms pieces for the little guy. His mind was BLOWN!

So today, he’s all set in his fab rigout (after some adjustments!) for the school Halloween party. Thanks so much to the people in @IrishRail for their generosity & time!

Here’s Emmet & his RaRa Alan on the train to Rosslare back in 2017.

So the excitement continues! We were interviewed on @RadioRayRTE today & Ray told us that @barrykenny & the crew in @IrishRail have invited Emmet to go on a 'behind the scenes' tour of Inchicore Works & a go of their train simulator. I think @cdalton75 might be more excited...
