LUAS on Trial: Cross City Line test, finally! Ten Photos.

I found it fascinating to finally see a tram negotiating Dublin Cross City trackage having followed the construction of the line over the last few years.

This my third post showing LUAS tram trial on 18 August 2017.

These photos were exposed using my FujiFilm X-T1 fitted with a 27mm pancake lens. That’s right: fixed focal length (no zoom).

Never mind the camera, what amazed me was how completely oblivious most passers by were to the tram. What does it take these days to catch notice?

Warning!

    Looks like Marlborough Street is going to have a shelter! As regular bus users in Dublin will know, the city is unusual for the lack of bus shelters at many busy city centre stops, notably in O’Connell St.

    Compare with Belfast’s Donegall Square, which is liberally supplied with weather protection for passengers.
