It seems a bit conflicted in its bacon advice.

I think we are at the terminus, at the Phoenix Park (25" map at GeoHive) end of lines 9 and 10. Streetview. Trees, iron railings and houses on the right are still there.

HELP! Was foolish enough to click on the "Try our new photo experience" and despite frantic stamping on the "Opt Out" button, I'm trapped in a black hell! Send Help! Or at least let Lassie or Skippy know that I'm in trouble...

National Library of Ireland on The Commons This is your bank spaeking: We bleive your sceurtiy details are cmopromised. PLease type your account number and PIN so we can cnofrim yuou details. I can't believe you were daft enough to try a new flickr experience after they ballsed up the home page!

Both routes ran from Donnybrook to Phoenix Park, with #9 via Merrion Square, and #10 via Stephen's Green.

Hopefully the (apparent) change today to the Flickr UI doesn't affect the commentary on this brilliant shot. I passed through this junction twice a day for many years - and yet it looks at once very different (delightfully so) and so familiar. Am loving the sidecar. Obligatory Google StreetView with the (oft derided and appallingly brutalist) shopping centre. A more recent movement might hopefully bring Phibsboro back in the direction of this near idyllic Eason shot :)

The hat of the presumed Garda suggests that he is not a DMP constable, which points to post-independence. Yet there are no cars or evidence of cars, and the sidecar attached to the motorbike looks very very old, The straw boater on the man at the corner suggests mid-20s at the latest although the ladies dresses seem to indicate much earlier. Hmmm...

BultacoFan And yet, the Daily Mail news poster speaks of the "British Fleet" and (I think) the "Kaiser". This one's going to be a goodie (technical term)! A "Finance Bill" in the Irish Times - it was ever thus. And I think the Freeman's Journal is exercised about an Imperial Congress? I should have gone to Specsavers!

BRITISH FLEET COMMANDED BY THE KAISER Say what?

Yes, in 1914 apparently: from Trove: BRITISH FLEET AT KIEL KAISER ASSUMES COMMAND

Park Gate and Ballybough no. 22 route commenced Oct 1900, so there’s a start date

Correction, more likely the Donnybrook and Phoenix Pk, no. 9, route, which dates from 1899.
Especially as it says ‘Donnybrook’ on the front!
Both route symbols look the same in black and white.

Suck Diesel Lopped off 35 years for us. Thank you.

From one of those high windows on the right -

DUTC tram #204 was built in 1900 by Browne of Brunswick St and remained in service ‘till the end
