Just a comment on the most recent change specifying the "registered office" to be in Letterkenny, not Derry - that is certainly a very interesting link with the CRO number and I see on this page: http://www.solocheck.ie/FreeIrishCompanyReport?companyNumber=900404&companyName=LONDONDERRY+AND+LOUGH+SWILLY+RAILWAY+COMPANY the Incorporated Date is 28/09/1925 - anybody any idea of the significance of that date? Could it be that there are separate company entities in RoI and NI? Perhaps the original company continued in Derry and this one was set up in RoI for administrative convenience after partition? I'm wildly speculating here but interested all the same. I'm responsible for the "Northern Ireland Bus Site" where I believe some of the original content for this page was lifted from (uncredited, but I'm not complaining) - on that page I said "the company now calls the Pennyburn address its registered office" - that is based on the actual wording on a "with compliments" slip I received from the company when I wrote to them to request a copy of the timetable in 1998 or so. If the registered company offices were in Letterkenny since 1925, I'm very curious then as to the reason for this mention in 1998 of the registered office being in Pennyburn, on the official company with compliments stationery. Perhaps someone has an answer. --Paul K 84.189.47.198 19:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
