MSTS | 80s Revival (Dublin to Belfast) | NIR 80 Class DMU (Irish Enterprise South Add-On)

Take a seat onboard the Northern Ireland Railways 80 Class DMU for a mid‑2000s cross‑border journey from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Central, recreated in Microsoft Train Simulator (2001). Although the activity is titled “80s Revival”, this scenario is set in 2006/07, reflecting the final years of the 80 Class in regular passenger service. This run follows the full northbound timetable, calling at Drogheda, Dundalk, and Portadown before arriving into Belfast Central just before 19:00. The 80 Class’s distinctive engine tone, classic cab layout, and rugged NIR styling make it one of the most memorable units to operate along the Enterprise corridor. 🚆 Journey Details Route: Dublin Connolly → Belfast Central Train: NIR 80 Class DMU Scenario: “80s Revival” (set in 2006/07) Stops: Drogheda, Dundalk, Portadown Arrival: Approx. 18:52 Simulator: Microsoft Train Simulator (2001) 🎥 About This Video This video captures the atmosphere of Irish rail travel in the mid‑2000s — a time when the 80 Class was nearing retirement but still working key services across Northern Ireland.
