  • George FitzPatrick said:
    Infrastructure destroyed and Beeching did the same this side of the water also. Merry Christmas and be safe and careful. In Wales Nadolig Llawen is used for Merry Christmas but correct translation is Joyful Christmas. Double LL is pronounced as C.

    O Mac It is indeed, you might like this video produced last year by Bus Éireann to mark the 70th anniversary of Busáras, Ireland’s central bus and coach station. It opened for business on 19 October 1953.

    ‘Aras Mhic Dhiarmada’ as it was once called
  • Suck Diesel said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Well, it’s just across the street from Amiens St. railway station, probably on his way there and saw this alternative mode of transport
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Suck Diesel Is Aras Mhic Dhiarmada not still there, referring to the Government offices over the bus station?

    Why is it in Location Hunters? Sure it's Adelaide Yard in Belfast. There is a new traincare facility there now.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Entrance to Adelaide Station is here
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The locomotive in the foreground (no. 187) was built in 1913 and was withdrawn from service some time in the 5 years after this photo.
  • Robert Foster said:
    Great shot of the shunting yard, great to see working steam engines.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Interesting detail: looking through the window of the 3rd loco, I think I see the Red Hand logo of the Ulster Transportation Authority, which was only formed in May 1958, a year or so before this shot. The earlier GNR logo had a smaller Red Hand, surrounded by castles, a ship, a skeleton (?) etc. [Edit: the skeleton is from the arms of Derry, the ship from Belfast, 3 of the castles from Dublin]
