Wow this is amazing. And I was in Paris last month and they had taxis like you’d see in Dublin too. What an incredible world we live in.

They have security vans with Garda on them in New York – nearly wet meself.

I was in Blackpool, UK, a couple of years ago. And I’m pleased to say that their trams are old fashioned, outdated relics, from some bygone age, compared to ours.

Still fast enough to take out Alan Bradley (Rest in Peace).

Classic Corrie references…That’s why I visit this site.

Hey Flav, you’ve no time to be watching soaps….get back to (art)work! ;)

Zak Dingle is my muse.

That’s how I ended up on here. I was told this was a site for Brian Tilsley fan fiction.

I gave up the Tilsley fanfic when it became too mainstream. I stick to 1991-era Rovers Return LARPing. I fill a Bet Lynch outfit better than you’d think.
Mani
I’d say you fit it EXACTLY how I think.

You should have a listen to Betty Driver’s Desert Island Discs show.
I have to admit I found it amusing. And when I travel I am often amused by such similarities to things known here. Can you not let your inner kid out and think what it would be like to go onto the platform at Smithfield, tag on with your leap card, and get off in Rabbat to visit the casbah?
In any case its the Citadis tram, not so much Veolia, that is similar. Also used in Barcelona, Bordeaux, Adelaide.

The resemblance is remarkable.
It’s practically Dublin..minus scobes, plus sunshine.

The trams were bought and are owned by the RPA before any operator context existed.
The Amsterdam metro has LHB cars almost identical to the older DARTs, it’s as likely to happen as someone having the same shirt as you really

Wow, spotted once an Irish pub outside Ireland. I cried a bit.
It’s al-rabat, الرباط but as R (ra) is a sun letter, the L (lam) in the definite article “Al” is elided and the sun letter is doubled, giving the pronunciation arrabat
were did you imagine any if any of your Luas journey fee was going,
to the kids ward in Crumlin Hospital?

There’s a Dublin in Ohio u know..
“Rabat.
An Rabat.”
Hopefully still in Doireann Ni Bhriain’s luscious tones.
They’ve probably got a better public transport system than us…..
Check out the cousin of luas in Dijon, France. I had such a laugh when I was walking down the street and I heard the same bell!
