Fund raiser for our friend Noel Playfair.
Donation protected
As you are all aware, our friend and colleague Noel Playfair sadly passed away yesterday on the 16th of January, whilst carrying out his duties as a Train Driver.
Noel was the most committed Train Driver that I knew and he dedicated his life to the Railways of Northern Ireland, and it’s heritage with the RPSI. Noel gave up his free time, even helping a German film crew that were creating a feature on the RPSI steam train. The highlight of his professional career was when Noel carried HRH Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on a journey from Coleraine to Bellarena on the 28th of June 2016. At that time, Noel was 62 years old, and had been driving for 42 years, but even with such important guests on his train, Noel treated the journey with the utmost professionalism, but he would openly admit that the day was the best in his career.
Noel lived and loved the Railways and he is a sad loss for all of us that knew, and had the pleasure to work with him at NIR.
Rest in Peace brother.
Funeral to be held at 10am, Mulhollands in Carrickfergus ;
