Fifty years ago enjoyed a great school holiday (as a teacher) staying in Bray. Main memories the hotel on the Prom (Cois Farrige), climbing Bray Head, train rides to Dublin and Greystones, Guiness Brewery, Glendalough, Avoca, Brittas Bay, and warming Irish Coffees as a night cap. This video brings it back. Thanks.
Very good video. I see it was made at high tide, so the coastline appears much better. At low tide, only the passengers looking out from the sides would see the water. Also the weather was perfect - too sunny can cause glare and marks on the windscreen. Too cloudy makes everything look dark and gloomy.
Bzdura, krzaczory i drzewa na prawie całej trasie są posadzone tak blisko torów, że pasażerowie, którzy liczą na podziwianie wiecznie zielonych pól Irlandii obejdą się smakiem. A jak nie krzaki i drzewa to mur wysoki na trzy metry 😄Dotyczy to niestety wszystkich tras linii kolejowej w Irlandii a miejscami nawet dublińskiej kolejki podmiejskiej DART. Trzymać się z daleka.
Around 1:58:00 on the tracks from Greystones to Bray, I noticed two extra rails between the driving rails, ending in a sort of parenthesis shape. Just today I saw the same thing on the northbound platform at Grand Canal Dock. There was some kind of electrical grounding cable attaching one section to another. What is the function of those rails -- is it for detecting via an electric circuit that a train has passed from one section into another?
They have nothing to do with signalling. They are known as "gathering rails" and are to keep a train running in line with the track in the event of a derailment. Whilst running line derailments are very rare, gathering rails are used where the consequences would be severe, such as the cliff edge on Bray Head. From looking at the video, I suspect that their purpose at GCD is to protect the very tall historic brick structure which is very close to the line. The electrical cables are just to ensure they are electrically bonded to the running rails which are used to carry return traction current on the electrified lines used by DART.
I love trains all my life. Don't know now anything about the Technology of it. Maybe a bit about #Luas. Speed. #DublinAreaRapidTransport. #Irishrail. But love being now able ,are easy to get in the driving seat. Now online in UA-cam. Love it. North dubliner. All my life on various trains throught the city and around Ireland. I love my country. And in the driving seat. You get a glimpse of all parts of living.love these. Ross to dub. Yes!!
did you just go and ask the driver if you could record it or did you have to get permission first? i was thinking of recording timelapses on some of the irish trains and uploading them to mapillary

I did get permission from Irish Rail. Maybe you should conctact media press office, they could help you.
So many stations closed on this line since I was a boy Killrane, Macmine Junction, Ferns, Camolin, Inch, Woodenbridge, Avoca. Gone but not forgotten.

Great video , like the way the speed limit signs are displayed .
Great video, I love this line, I am so happy to see an up to date cab ride on it!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Superb video !
Thank you very much, Mateusz. What a wonderful, romantic seaside train ride - I did not even miss the sound.
I was told to record without audio...
@ :(
i still travel that route to gorey the scenery is wonderful now and again
Such a beautiful line but the speed restrictions especially in south Dublin are a total disaster
Witam zawsze klasa arcydzieło łapka w niebo👍🎇🎆✨🏆🤴🥇 i do kolejnego pozdrawiam
A very nice route. I like this video.
Thumbs up. Refreshing to look at the video without having to endure pointless noise. Someone in Irish Rail made a good decision.

Bardzo klimatyczna trasa.
This is brilliant - I want more of this 😍 I'd love to know what all the signs mean, I know the speed sign but that's all I know 😔
Piękne widoki

Go raibh maith agát!... ☘️
( Thank U!)
Super video!
Thanks ; )
Elegansio😍
Appears calming due to the muted colors and diffused light. I wonder if what's calming in small doses might become depressing after a while.
Then people find excitement and grow tired of that. Heaven to earth, back and forth, forever and ever...
This looks like an operational nightmare...
It kind of all comes together once you figure out the trackside signage etc. A tiny bit more foolproof than you'd expect it to be.
I live in Dublin.
Great vid! Jesus I wonder who those 2 guys are @1:57:25 on the right cliff! And where are they going?!
The probably were hiking or something ^^
05:47
Do you have any idea of a train going to those tracks on the left hand side, or is it just for construction?
That's the line to Limerick. However train passenger service was closed in 2010 between Waterford and Rosslare.

@@PeterCDub thanks for those insights!
Where is the sound? 🤔
I was not permitted to record any audio.
Why is this silent? Why not the engine noise? Or some Jimi Hendrix?
Irish Rail didn't agree for recording any sound.
Thank God there was no awful irrelevant "music".
Silence doesn’t work for me :(

Any chance of doing Cork to Dublin full cab view
Well, I could try it next year, but I can't promise anything.
Kind Regards
shame there wasnt the reverse trip.but very good
Maybe one day though! Kind Regards!
Why does it pass so slowly through Rosslare Sland? I mean, that is almost walking slow.
Due to the speed limit I reckon.
14:00 if someone can tell me, what's that town?
Wexford :)
@ Dziękuję bardzo :)
Are the speeds in miles or kilometres per hour? I know Ireland uses km's on its roads, so I would imagine the railways would also.
Rail speed limits are still in miles. They never converted them to kilometres, for a closed system there wouldn't really be any benefit.
Mega filmik 👍pozdro serdeczne Czemu nie ma dzwieku?
Przewoźnik nie zgodził się na nagrywanie z dźwiękiem. Pozdrawiam
Jak się nażywa numer lini z Katowic do Wisły Głęmbice?
Pozdrawiam!
Pięnkne tunele wyryte z bok*w morza i ten oświetlony!
Jest to linia S6.
You can see my gaff there,
Seems like I have travelled this route before also. Is this recently uploaded video a repeat?
Yeah, that's true.
MAJD LEGKÖZELEBB HANGOT IS VEGYÉL FEL.
