    I'd say there was many a good story told in that group? That looks like a big spanner - the one in his hand not the man himself!!!! If he turns too quickly the man on the left will let him know what he thinks of him when he gets his breath back (if ever)!

    Swordscookie Methinks I'm the spanner for tagging that tool as a wrench! :D

    I think Broadstone is now used by Dublin Bus...

    Joefuz, it has been for many years. At one time it was a national hub with the Royal Canal having a spur and basin nearby. Barges, buses and trains all operating from there and so close to the city centre must have made it a hive of activity. There was a repair depot attached to the station and accessible up further towards Phibsborough.

    Michiel2005 Ah, point taken.

    It might have something to do with weight. In those days you bought the chassis and the engine and then you went to a coach builder to have a coach fitted on it. The chassis builder indicated the amount of weight permissable.
