thewanderer Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Happy Birthday Kildare Commuter Rail! The rail service, then known as the ‘Arrow’, began operating on May 16 1994, a date that also marked the reopening of Sallins, Hazelhatch and Clondalkin stations along with the opening of a new station at Cherry Orchard. To mark the occasion I've put together a photographic collection of the route over the last 20 years. Click to view. Here's to another 20 and beyond! Enjoy, The Wanderer.

Garfield Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nice photos there, Wanderer. Always thought they were too quick to scrap the Arrow brand name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barl Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Great collection of photo's Wanderer. Having relied on this service to travel to school, college and now work these photo's bring back some good memories. It used to be nice to see a new railcar type taking over every few years or so. It's funny how the 'Arrow' branding has stuck though; I often hear people still refer to it as the 'Arrow' service even though it hasn't been in use for several years!
