Evening,
I'm thinking of having a day in the Republic of Ireland in August, I've never been there before, would be there for most of a day, arriving at Dublin at 05:45 off the ferry, then back across the water, from Dublin, in the evening, my main aim will probably be photography, but also wouldn't mind doing some bashing moves if there's anything decent worth doing?
1) What is the current state of loco hauled services, and what is the best value way to bash one? (I understand ticket restrictions are quite harsh)
2) Any good photo spots anyone can recommend, accessible by train? I don't mind a bit of a walk if need be.
3) What are attitudes like towards enthusiasts, am I likely to run into any bother?
4) Anything non-rail worth doing while I'm there?
If there's anything else you think I should know, go ahead..
Many thanks in advance!
