What's the handiest way to get to the Stillorgan Park Hotel using public transport? Is it far from the Luas at Sandyford, or is it better to get a bus?

 

There's a few buses that pass the hotel, inc. I think the 84a, 84x, check the web, in my experience the 46a's usually travel in packs of three's :-bd

It's also about 20 mins walk from Blackrock Dart station if you fancy getting som exercise in while you're at it!

 

Cheers, lads... I'll go with Fran's suggestion of the 46A as it'll be the handiest. Should've known to use it... used to get it to work every day! :doh:

Great day lads great seeing you all again. Oh yea and I finally got to meet Garfield great to finally meet you bud:tumbsup:

 

Likewise, man. Hope all's OK at your end tonight.

 

As has been said, the fair was very well organised and there was a good turnout. Would've thought the folks at Fran's new place of work would've thought him that no means no, but seeing the items in his bag proved that wasn't the case... :P

 

It was nice to meet up with a few of the other familiar names from the forum, including Boskonay, Burnthebox, DartTrain, and of course, Wrenn, from whom I picked up 161 in Supertain livery... will hopefully make it up again for the February fair.

Definitely a great mix of stands. Roll on February. (Money to spare after the Christmas madness)

 

Amen to that!

 

Have to agree, well organised (apart from that dodgy character on the door!) and plenty of stuff on offer. I only picked a few small bits and pieces myself, hopefully will have a few bob to spend at February's gig.

I did well to walk out of there without a challenger. Now that's restraint!

Picked up these at the Stillorgan gig

Not train related but just shows what is out there

A pair of Triumph Garda figures by Britains.

Never released as a mainstream product but a small amount, believed to be around 50 were commissioned by the Triumph agents in

Ireland in the early 70's when Triumph triumphed with the order to provide their motorcycles to the Gardai

They differ from the "Police Patrolman on Triumph" model in that the bike colour is a darker shade, the shirt & tie is also blue as compared to white on the Police one

The bike also has leg defenders fitted which did not appear on any other Britains Police model.
