for the life of me, i cant see the reason why anyone would want to do that sort of vandalism..

Bit sad FSD is the spray crew and it reads "curse" its a scrawl tag and not a good one at that, looks as if they got spooked as they did'nt bother to fill it in maybe they got caught. ha ha

The carriages in ‘Educating Rita’ were definitely CIÉ ones, temporarily painted in BR colours for the film. While I can’t remember which type of vehicles they were (possibly 1339-1355 type side corridors as these were bein withdrawn for conversion to GSVs at the time), I do remember that the film company used water soluble paint, to aid removal after filming. Of course it rained before filming was completed and some of the painting had to be redone! The scene of them exiting the station was taken on the old carriage ramp at Pearse station. This descended from platform level to a gate on Westland Row, immediately beside the junction with Pearse St. The whole area has been obliterated by the Trinity College accommodation block.

the carriages were painted on one side the side that faced out on to Trinities grounds

There is another one I spotted in a book where name boards on the carraige roof read French names, either one of the Pink Panthers or French Connection. Will have a look.

one of the pink panther films from the originals ones made was filmed here on a train with a dark blue light filter on the camera lens to make it look as if it was night time

Ah just found out that they are still publishing it

warm can can do stops the paint mixing as well as it should.

cold weather will do the same except clog up your paint and make it blotchy
