Steam Trains Ireland - RPSI Events 2010
Further down the page is a list of the trains announced so far for this year including this year's May Railtour.

There are many more events being planned about which we are not ready to announce details.

Since 1964 the RPSI has been operating preserved passenger trains all over the island of Ireland. With a few exceptions we use our own carriages pulled by our own steam engines. Thanks to the continued cooperation of Iarnród Éireann and Northern Ireland railways we can run our trains on most parts of the rail network.

This page will carry details of the planned public trains for the coming year. For large groups or for filming purposes it is sometimes possible to hire one of our trains to run at a time and place to suit you!

REMEMBER - ADVANCE TICKET PURCHASE IS ESSENTIAL FOR ALL TRAINS unless otherwise stated.
Attempting to travel without a ticket at the main departure station OR without a ticket and at a different station on the route causes the RPSI major problems. We sell tickets for the seats on the train, therefore you are very likely to be refused a seat on the train or be asked to leave if you do not have a ticket. Please purchase your ticket in advance.
PLEASE ACT RESPONSIBLY AROUND OUR TRAINS:
If you are going to watch, photograph or travel on an RPSI steam train, please remember that the trains are operated on the national rail networks along with scheduled passenger services. Trespassing to watch or photograph a steam train endangers your safety, the safety of others and disrupts the operation of all trains on the network - please act responsibly. Both Translink and Iarnród Éireann have severe penalties for trespassers.
