Day off work, wasn't out over the Christmas Period so I thought why not!

 

Original picture of the Daffy should answer all your questions. All I say is after that day I was cold and wet.

[heirflick]

i should have copped that neil....being ther often enough! 299 in the gloom is a great shot....hope you had a hip flask full of brandy that day!

Found also at Limerick Colbert last week.... Nice one Wanderer! I was wondering about the photoshopped snow and it's poor blending at the right hand side of the photo!

So much for their PR image you think they would have washed the loco before taking the picture. Wait till Stobart arrives to give IE a lesson in PR

It wasn't a official shoot. Right time right place photo, which looks good in a industrial landscape. IE asked me could they acquire the use of the photo. I didn't know it was going to appear on billboards around the country! I nearly crashed the car driving into the shopping centre in Portlaosie when I saw it out of the corner of my eye.

[finnyus]

Evening all,

 

two updates from me:

- Lisnagry, Castleconnell, Birdhill & Kilmastulla

Thanks for that Wanderer that would explain the dirt of the loco as it wasn't a staged shoot. I hope you were handsomely paid for your photo by IE. Keep them coming.

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.

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.
