Two completely different systems which will never interact. Therefore no need for it. The only bugger is if you go searching for 4006 on my website you will get both types unless you put in the stock type (MKIV or LUAS4000) to filter the results to the correct type of stock. And last time I checked a tram is not a bus!!! :mad::mad:

Good morning, Yesterday morning I had a few hours to kill in Dublin, so here is a few odds and sods from: - Heuston - Red Line LUAS - Connolly - Drumcondra Pictures start at http://smu.gs/1LVIlnz The Wanderer.

Evening all, Images from Saturday and Sunday have now been uploaded to http://smu.gs/1B56a1T Featuring: - Galway line trains at Portarlington. - Heuston Station. - LUAS Red Line disruption due to the water march protest. - Some random images from Sunday while onboard the RPSI Marble City to Kilkenny. The RPSI Marble City images have been uploaded to the Railtour section of the website at http://smu.gs/1EBwXUK The Wanderer. P.S. There was a category 1 near miss with the RPSI Special at the 16 M.P. near Sallins this morning with two trespassers who had cameras. This is now under investigation. May I appeal to all enthusiasts out there to stay safe and stay on the right side of the fence. It will only take an serious incident to occur with an enthusiast special and the R.S.C. and I.E. could ban Steam Specials from the network (in a worst case scenario). I for one, and I'm sure you agree with me, don't want to see that happening.

Nice video....but....unless your authorised to be there you shouldn't be on the wrong side of the fence. Gives us all a bad name.
