Hi all,

I'm recently after discovering this site, been lurking for a while. I would like for all of you to visit my fotopic site http://thewanderersirishrailphotospot.fotopic.net/ which contains 100 photo collections, mostly of the ever changing Irish Rail scene but also of the UK and Europe.

Please feel free to come along and pay a visit.

Cheers,
The Wanderer.

Glad you liked them westcoast. The railways of Ireland are undergoing massive change at the moment so its good to be out there recording the changing scene. I try and get updates to my site at least once a week.

Interesting photos. I've always wanted to take a trip over to Ireland to photograph/travel the trains there (and sample the Guinness).

Massive change - annihilation of the crank interest at least for me

Wanderer, Whats your opinion on the CAF Mk4 stock - interior/ride quality etc?

Thewanderer · 4th December 2007, 22:42

Hi 87015,

The Irish Mk4's have the potential to be an excellent coach, while the ride quality isn't up to scratch yet on some vehicles this is down to excessive wheel wear which I understand is being investigated by CAF.

Interior wise I think is OK, very neutral colours. The seats do seem hard at first when you sit in them but after a few minutes you wouln't notice. I travel to work on them most mornings and I can assure you I've had some fine snoozes on them!

--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

I've just uploaded 25 photos from a trip to various locations in Kildare and Laois today.

Included are:

Various 201 class locos on Mk2 and Mk3 passengers.
087 and 088 on the 1220 Waterford - Ballina Norfolk.

Two things I did miss were 142 + 149 LE Portlaoise - Inchicore which passed Monastervin at 1000 am and 187 + 134 on a Portlaoise - Waterford Per Way train which I spotted from the M7 overbridge at Cherryville. Oh well....

The link to the collection is
