Martin Breen (he/him)I always forget about the strange lady in the loos on the train until she jump scares me.
Well done IrishRail! Seat reservations displaying BEFORE departure from Dublin Connolly to Wexford.
This is the first 18:28 Thursday service where I’ve seen this in the last 9 months. If only you could have ran ABCD it would be perfect.
On the downside no bunfights to look forward to on arrival in Pearse.

Between the showers — an #IrishRail Commuter service leaving #Maynooth en-route to Dublin along the banks of the #RoyalCanal with rapeseed blooms adding a welcome splash of yellow along the towpath.
Old meets new — I got lucky, and managed to snap a meeting of former Great Northern Railway of Ireland (GNRi) 4-4-0 #steam loco No. 171 Slieve Gullion meeting an #IrishRail Commuter train at Matt Goff Bridge along the #RoyalCanal in #Leixlip. The loco was pulling an # RPSI (Railway Preservation Society of Ireland) “Midlander” special #train towards Maynooth.

A sunny afternoon on the #RoyalCanal towpath in #Maynooth — I met plenty of fellow walkers enjoying this beautiful amenity as the #IrishRail trains rumbled past.
The rapeseed flowers are really coming into bloom, both in our fields, and, along our hedgerows, including along the banks of the #RoyalCanal near #Maynooth. Not quite the same shade of yellow as the safety front on the #IrishRail trains, but thought it was a fun pairing anyway 🙂 #Bloomscrolling
