Irish Rail to sell rolling stock
Friday, August 20th, 2010Not so smart cards
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
The Irish Independent has reported on the latest cretinous move in the long running saga of public transport smartcards. Going forward, anyone acquiring an annual bus and rail ticket, will be given two smartcards, one for the bus and the other for the train. Of course, hell wil freeze over before Dickweed Dempsey will admit that the reason there is no smartcard for Dublin (and never will be) is that Dublin Bus put the smartcard readers on the buses and not at the stops.

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Lads and lassies, my walk to Pearse Station every evening brings me past the Mont Clare Hotel. As there is a clearway in operation at the time I usually pass by, if one of your buses is parked there, I will see it.

CIE Tours International bus - YN08 NXR
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Where do I start? Use of a British registered/taxed/insured (are you insured or should I approach the British authorities on that front - after all the unconstitutional Road Traffic Act of 1961 does not extend to allowing to be uninsured in the UK).
Parked on double yellow lines at 1719 on 1st April 2009 outside the Mont Clare Hotel in Dublin 2 during clearway operational hours (per the signs clearway operational between 0700 and 1000 & 1230 and 1900.
I am opposed to all forms of clamping - but I would make an exception for this. Pity the scumbags are never around when you need them.
