Can't wait to see the new trains in 2 years

It's ridiculously stupid that you need your leaving cert

Native Irish men (who make up the majority of train drivers) being excluded as usual. You won't get many recruits with this strategy Irish Rail!

👍

Very interesting, to the dedication of those guys making the Dart what it is today and for the future.😊

Lovely vid an Oscar winner right here 😂

@iarnrod eireann: any sign of opening a train track heading north east of Dublin? Kingscourt to Navan badly needs to be reopened.

#Newbridge & #Maynooth lines should of been electrified decades ago . 🚆

Amazing work to create an amazing network.

Should be roepened on time for Easter in 2025.

The stupidity of these people is astounding to say the least.

Excellent progress.

One of many examples of efficiency in Irish construction - shame the same can't be said for Irish planning!

Phenomenal video, more of this please !!

....dart go faster

Still waiting

What an amazing video, the individuals who helped make the DART a reality deserve the thanks and appreciation from multiple generations, thanks to them the DART has become an integral and iconic part of Dublin. I am very proud to work for Iarnród Éireann. Happy 40th birthday DART and thank you to all those who made it a reality.

Great memories. Lots of disgruntlement with the trains off in 82 and 83. Got the AEC80 push pull into town day it launched. Harmo to Connolly. Reuturned on a DART. Out took 20 mins. Back was 8 mins. Also remember the super spring loaded jump seats at the door.

Perfect 👌

What a terrific video! It was fascinating to hear about some of the issues involved in its planning and construction - I'm old enough to remember the excitement leading up to the first DARTS. It was a really strong team effort - glad to say that it proved the begrudgers wrong and was the catalyst for a radical change in public and political opinion concerning the merits or otherwise of public transport in Ireland. As already mentioned by other commenters, it will be great to see it continue to develop and flourish. Thanks to all at IE.

amazing

The horse shouldn't have gotten on for free; you need to be 66, not 65! 🙂

11:40 in the future, I very much look forward to seeing the DART being extended to Navan with the extension of the M3 Parkway line and a DART Underground from the Irish Ferries & Stena Terminals at Dublin Port via Dublin Docklands rail station, linking in with a Metro Line from Dublin Airport, with the DART Underground going via the 02 Arena to Connolly Station

10:53 the lack of regulation was probably a good thing - looking at the failure of HS2 here in the U.K. one of the reasons it failed was because of excessive levels of regulation and restrictive trade Union practices, which in addition to holding back progress, which also is a possible reason for constant industrial actions on the U.K.’s railways, which also prevented the high speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin from ever getting past the planning phase

The autism is so strong I can recognise the station from the start 2 secs in

"There was no regulation, nobody was hurt"; I love that line. What a great story to preserve, thanks for posting this.

What a wonderful video !!

Great video. Any chance we could get it without the burned-in subtitles?

Worked with lots of the people in this video building the dart and of course inspector dan donavan who was over the p way work 👍👍

A brilliant video. Happy 40th and thanks to all who were involved..... from Limerick.

13:10 Nowadays, passengers would just tweet the issue!

Big hullabaloo. In Drogheda some year's back. When a two car set was observed on road 7 at DMU Depot Drogheda. It had arrived for, Wheel Turning.

Happy 40 years Dart , knew a lot of the retirees featured here . I was a fully qualified loco driver 12 months then. Was on the tour of Fairview Depot and the special Dart organised by the Irish Railway Record Society before it opened.

Great video... nice to see all those involved in making the DART happen.

Did any of them had any decisions in destroying Ireland's rail infrastucture and preservation attempts over the past decades?

What an inspired video. So nice to see and hear from the people involved in making it all happen back in the day

It will probably be another 40 years before we see dart+ 😂😂😂

Damn, wish we had this kinda capacity for travel in America. Just hit the rails, pick up the minor shopping, meet a potential friend and hit the bar for a brew lol

That was nice

Note how the train pulling into the station is a Jap EMU, but when the guys sit down, they are in a LHB EMU. No doubt made in many segments, or should that be acts and scenes?

A joke 😅😅never happen 😅

Good but you should also look at the cement factory railway line it would mean access from the crescent to limerick city centre Via rail

This ad should be banned

Good to see Irish railway developing 👍🏻 Love from Bangladesh

Well done, irish Rail, now open up the rest of our closed railways 🛤

Well done

My grand dad worked there

A busy day on the train for schools STEM

Up Limerick

Nice job!
