When you’re standing in a beautiful dusk scene it’s always tempting to shoot into the setting sun and get those amazing oranges, but when you turn the opposite way you get cool rich blues which can be beautiful in their own way!

I shot this #IrishRail commuter train approaching #Maynooth along a mirror-smooth #RoyalCanal with my back to the setting sun.

Since it’s Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 🇮🇪: going through pictures taken in #Ireland in August 2024, travelling from #Dublin to #Belfast with the #IrishRail #Translink #Enterprise #InterCity. It’s a push-pull train. There’s an IÉ Class 201 diesel, and … (🥁) it’s got a bar-buffet style #DiningCar (sort of).

An #IrishRail Commuter train passing the Duke’s Harbour on the #RoyalCanal at Pike Bridge east of #Maynooth opposite the entrance to Carton House. The sun peeped through the racing clouds at just the right moment!

An #IrishRail InterCity passing the #RoyalCanal jetty at Jackson’s Bridge while the spring sun shines down on the still bare trees. The leaf buds on the trees are right on the verge of opening, so by next week the trees will probably be greening.

Peacefully grey — an #IrishRail InterCity accelerating out of #Maynooth along a mirror-smooth #RoyalCanal on a dull but perfectly still Irish spring afternoon.

What’s the point of trip planners if they can’t even provide accurate info? Why are Apple doing a better job than TFI using TFIs information? #irishrail

So the line between Connolly and Dun Laoighaire was is closed for repairs to overhead wires after some accident or the other. Fine. Shit happens.

However, the online scheduling system and the boards in the stations are still showing everything as hunky dory. Trains that can’t be running scheduled to leave as normal. The TFI app not showing any sign of an issue. Apple Maps has at picked up a notice of the problem and is showing that below the routes involving ghost trains.

Fucksake. #irishrail

A leisurely evening commute — an #IrishRail #train likely filled with students returning to their digs for another busy week of study coasts into #Maynooth along the banks of the #RoyalCanal as Sunday dusk falls.
