      @@JeSuisRene I think that both theatre (previously) and tram stop are named after the area, which is adjacent to the port, but I'm honestly not sure what the origin of the name is. It could be that the theatre came first and gave its name to the area.

    You're absolutely fab Guys. This is a great production. And a hell of a lot of work!
    Your enthusiasm for the rails is so infectious to nerds and non-nerds alike.
    I don't use the trains much (except the Luas) but there is some satisfaction to witnessing the system in it's entirety.
    Thanks for coming to Ireland. Bord Failte and Iarnrod Eireann should be well pleased with what you've put out.

    Cuter than cute cute! Fun fact of the day - LUAS uses standard (4ft 8.5ins) gauge track while, as we all know but Geoff won't tell us, the rail system uses non-standard 5ft 3Ins gauge.

    Good thing you guys avoided the morning and evening rush! It's pretty dire...
    Fun fact, for the green line they introduced extension for the Luas fleet, a number of them are now 55m which makes them *The Longest Trams - In The World*
    On their first debut across the Liffey in late 2017 early 2018, the traffic light sequencing wasn't adapted/engineered for the longer trams, which are longer than the O'Connell Bridge (which is also wider than it is long); traffic going west down the quays were blocked by the last Luas carriage stuck waiting at a red light.

    • @barvdw

    This is a treat and the passing scenery is gorgeous.

    Nice tram video, and I love the puzzled reactions of the passengers. Dublin's trams aren't the only system that use tap-in/tap-out. In Seattle (where I currently am) their light rail system uses the same method so that passengers get charged the correct fare for the distance traveled.

      I'm from Singapore, and every form of public bus and train uses the tap-in and tap-out.
      Also noticed in places like Kuala Lumpur (buses/light rail/monorail/mass rapid transit), Hong Kong (MTR and MTR light rail only), Melbourne (outside Zone 1 for trams, buses and trains), Brisbane (buses, trains, citycat {ferry}), Sydney (buses, light rail, trains, metro), Bangkok (MRT and BTS skytrain), and probably more.

Put £4 cash (no change) in the box on the bus; driver gives you a paper ticket; make sure you don't lose it. Got me way past the rugby stadium, with fabulous views on the way.

      Never understood why North Americans call them streetcars. It just sounds like an overly long version of the word car.

    You guys are the best, when needs be you can serious talking to big bosses at the top of some of the biggest train operating companies and of course Sir Peter himself from Network Rail also. But then flip things to a weekend bonus video of you guys going around stopping at all the stops on the Dublin Tram network and you produce a nugget of comedy and fact gold like that. You both deserve the highest accolades and the greatest of honours. For slowly bringing back to the forefront of the british publics mind the Train and Tram networks around this hopefully still great country of ours. You are the greatest.

    Hello lovely Dublin lady behind you, someone's mum is now famous, I hope she finds herself and discovers exactly what you were doing.
    More trams for other cities would be good, I have been on the Oslo system and the Amsterdam system as well as the London one, as a general transport system they really are much better than buses for longer journeys.

      @@LesD9 Bridesglen is being billed as a new satellite town surburb of Dubin. It has bus and road links with the main N11 road and is now gradually being built with a mixture of hi tech companies, offices space and apartments a lack of amenities has held things up. Lack of shops schools makes restaurants has made the location non family friendly thus it's sparsely populated.
