Ok here’s the story: so as part of Dublin\u2019s Cross City Extension, new extra long Citadis 502<\/em>\u00a0trams were ordered from Alstom. These have nine-sections and are claimed to be among the longest trams in the world to date.<\/p>\n

I knew that.<\/p>\n

Mark Healy and I had discussed this on the day the photo was made.<\/p>\n

We were out to photograph the new LUAS Cross City line.<\/p>\n

Then I needed to visit the Bank of Ireland, and run a few errands. It had clouded over the light was flat and dull.<\/p>\n

On the way back into the Dublin City center I saw an out of service tram on Parnell Street so, having the Lumix handy I made a few photos as it passed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
26 January 2018 I stumbled into photographing a trial run of one of Dublin’s new extra long trams.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not being up on the new tram numbering, or paying that close attention to it, I though very little of this photo.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t even make my initial cut.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t going to show it on Tracking the Light.<\/p>\n

A couple of days later Mark phone to let me know that somehow we\u2019d missed one of the pioneer trials with the new longer trams.<\/p>\n

\u2018Oh?\u2019 I said. \u2018What\u2019s the number of the tram in question?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u20185027\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018You know, I think I have that.\u2019<\/p>\n

Afterwards I looked back through my photos from the day, and here it is! (I blame jet lag).<\/p>\n

Now, I warned you that you weren\u2019t going to believe me!<\/p>\n
