The Railway Preservation Society Of Ireland held their first of three "Portrush Flyers". However, things didn't get of to a great start. In the early hours of the morning GSWR Loco.186 was declared a failure at their base in Whitehead. As a result, NIR were contacted in relation to using one of their 111 Class Locos. Bearing in mind that 111 & 113 were in Londonderry with the relay project, this meant that 112 would be the locomotive summonned.
