Evening all, A busy evening in Dublin tonight but I still managed to grab two photos at Busaras of 4008 and Heuston of 22005 and 22018. http://smu.gs/YWTVlm Hiddern-Agenda, Please go to the front page of my website and use the search box at the top right corner of that page.

Evening folks, Some pictures taken from Portlaoise this evening featuring Intercity services from Cork and to Limerick, plus the Portlaoise Commuters. The final picture is of the Full Moon rising over Co. Laois tonight. http://smu.gs/YSPh83 The Wanderer.

Evening all, After spending the Friday night in Dublin, I decided to take a rather unusual route back to Laois on Saturday, via Sligo and Mayo! Pictures of the trip may be found at http://smu.gs/YP7AuJ The Wanderer.

I'll see it when I believe it. I don't expect it out for a couple of weeks yet.

At the end of the day some of the coaches in that rake are owned by Iarnrod Eireann, so quite entitled to use such a picture.

and he offers a good taxi service around East Cork as well, despite a hairy moment near Fota

077 was only released from the paint shop today so who ever said they saw it last week is telling porkies. The Austerity livery. Cheap and cheerful to maintain.

4003 has returned to traffic following overhaul and repainting. It is also the first vehicle to carry the new Iarnrod Eireann Irish Rail logo. I photographed it at Rosskelton earlier today on the 1200 to Cork and later that evening at Heuston prior to departure at 1900 for Cork. The pictures may be viewed at: I also seen pictures of 077 today in its new slate grey livery. Interesting is all I shall say. The Wanderer.

Hi all, I have now uploaded photos from a two day visit to Cork and Kerry. Thanks to Finnyus for the Taxi service around East Cork on Tuesday. Photos now online at: http://smu.gs/Ye7FIb The Wanderer.

Hi all, Latest update is now online featuring: - Portlaoise on Friday. - Limerick Jct., Cork, Rathmore, Minish Level Crossing (Killarney) and Farranfore. http://smu.gs/Y7CwWR Enjoy! The Wanerer.

Evening all, A light covering of snow greeted me on Tuesday so here are a few pictures from Portarlington and one from Portlaoise at lunchtime when the snow had melted http://smu.gs/14PU0fA The Wanderer.

Evening folks, The 3rd & final batch of pictures from Wroclaw on Sunday morning of trams in the University area of the city. http://smu.gs/XGq2p3 For the start of the collection please use this link: http://smu.gs/14GB5DY The Wanderer.

Evening folks, I'm spending the weekend in Wroclaw in Southern Poland. Here are a few snaps of the city which also has an extensive tram network. http://smu.gs/14GB5DY The Wanderer.

Afternoon guys, The latest photos from this week: - Monday 21st January 2013: First weekday of the new timetable and I pop down to Portarlington to view two of the new Portlaoise - Heuston hourly commuter service. - Wednesday 23rd January 2013: Portlaoise and Heuston. - Saturday 26th January 2013: A visit to Monastervin to photograph the hourly Heuston - Portlaoise Commuter service. This station, which reopened in 2000 has really only had a peak hour only service until now. With the Kildare Commuter extened to Portlaoise the station now has hourly trains all day Monday - Saturday to Portlaoise, Portarlington, Kildare, Newbridge, Sallins and all stations to Dublin Heuston. Sadly IE have yet to promote the service in the local media or locally around the town. All photos now online at http://smu.gs/X088gr The Wanderer.

Buses to continue to 1530 Cork - Cobh / 1600 Cobh - Cork (Sat). Midleton services also suspended for a time today due to signal failure at Littleisland.

There is actually three down and four up direct services to/from Limerick. Trivia: Can anybody guess how the unbalanced fourth service is resourced??? The one withdrawn was the 0505 Limerick - Heuston via Nenagh which was the biggest carrier of fresh air until it hit the Commuter belt at Portlaoise.

and a lot of positives in the timetable as well. Far and balanced reporting? - Hourly all stations service to Portlaoise allowing Intercity services to Cork, Galway / Westport and Waterford to operate non-stop to/from the last Commuter Station (Kildare, Portarlington or Portlaoise). - Additional services to/from Galway and Westport routes. - faster journey times on all Intercity routes to and from Heuston averaging 10-15 minutes, but by up to 25 minutes in some cases which is achieved by the express running on the mainline with the Commuter service sweeping the road, 100mph running on certain sections between Portarlington and Athlone / Cherryville Jct to Carlow. Plus more 100mph sections on the Cork route. The Wanderer.

Final post in this triple posting. I have heard the Eddie Stobart rumours but i'm putting it down to driver canteen talk. If it happens....and Stobart run "open access" freight trains...I'll eat my camera!

I don't recognise it as mine and it isn't on my online images of 4004. Plus it looks like that was taken in Inchicore and I don't put Inchicore pictures online. Following I.E. guidelines.

Rolling Stock will not be "rebranded" unless it is due a repaint. This is a "low cost" rebranding people!

Evening all, Weekend Pictures: - Portarlington of 086 stabled with a Ballast Train. - Red and Green Line LUAS at Abbey St, St. Stephens Green and Ranelagh. - Heuston Station on Sunday afternoon http://smu.gs/13WKvuz On Saturday afternoon I walked the route of the proposed LUAS BXD Line between Parnell St. and St. Stephen Green getting a number of "before" photographs before construction of the tramline starts later in 2013. The route between Parnell Street and Broombridge will be photographed at a later date. http://smu.gs/ZsJ6XB The Wanderer.

And what a brilliant day that was 227 I think it was.

Monday morning and another trip to Dublin with photos from Connolly and Heuston plus LUAS trams in the Busaras and Connolly area. A nice tip off to receive was that 4017 was at Heuston for a photoshoot featuring its new AOA for e mobile. Once complete the tram operated empty Heuston - Connolly - Red Cow and I photographed it at Connolly. http://smu.gs/W56mKv Enjoy! The Wanderer.
