Maybe Quaint Is Cute In Ireland? - Episode 2, March 25th - Wexford to Bray

Hey guys good to see yous out about I've been a long time subscriber and I'd just like to say a massive thanks to you guys I dont think you guys realise the help you guys give out with your videos. With that being said I'm a sufferer of mental health and I find your videos a very good way of calming down and rather quite therapeutic so a massive 👍👍👍👍 guys and keep the great amazing content coming.

[@HighlandMike325]

As an Englishman living in the Scottish Highlands, I knew what "Failte" meant. Please excuse my sudden feeling of superiority 🤣🤣🤣

We spell it fáilte; I believe that the Scots spell it fàilte. Close enough.

Here in Dallas, Texas, our local rail transit is also called “DART” so it’s neat to see the sister system on the other side of the Atlantic. 😊

Glad I'm not the only one watching from Dallas. I've ridden DART many times, but never ended up in Ireland.

Echoing the comments about the music. Kudos to your composer, the music suits the video so well and is so relaxing as I watch with my morning coffee.

I've actually been on a train that stopped at Avoca last year. It was an RPSI steam excursion, and the train had to stop in Avoca to take on water.

I was about to say that! Speed limits are yellow octagons.

Doesn't the Irish Republic use metric measurements now? Surely any speed limits would be in kph not mph.

The train in Wexford reminds me of the slow moving boat train to Weymouth Harbour, as passengers met up with Channel Islands ferries, a journey did many times. It was only in the final days of the service that I finally saw the boat train at street level.

[@greathairyfool]

It’s a great pity that Irish rail closed the line between Rosslare Strand and Waterford. There was some amazing scenery on the line and the bridge over the river Barrow was truly spectacular.

[@ailinos]

Iarnród Éireann you mean.

[@Ynysmydwr]

I have very fond memories of that line, especially the viaduct you mention, which amazed me as a child (the memory still does). They should also have kept open the line west from Waterford to Mallow via Dungarvan -- on which my grandfather worked -- used by the "boat trains" from Rosslare to Killarney.

[@liadainosullivan8355]

Why is it so exciting to see people in my area

Fáilte means “welcome”. You should really try the DART from Greystones to Dublin - the line from Greystones to Bray runs very close to the cliff edge

[@susansmith7831]

Very similar word in Scotland, pronounced roughly 'fel-cha'.

[@StrathpefferJunction]

@@susansmith7831 It's kinda more like Fal-cha. Like 'pal-cha'. Same word, just with the accent (srac) being the opposite way around, as per Scots Gaelic vs Irish spelling conventions 🙂

[@RJH1971]

Great to have a record of the Rosslare line, it's slated for closure south of Gorey. There is still a line from Rosslare Strand to Waterford through south County Wexford which closed in 2010, a sad loss. Also, that line and part of the main line you travelled on are actually not owned by Iarnrod Eireann but by a consortium including Stena Line, called the Fishguard & Rosslare Railways and Harbours Company. Dates back to the construction of the railways, conjoined to the steamships from Rosslare to Wales with onward train connections by GWR. Enjoy the rest of your time over here!

[@barvdw]

Any hope it stays open? It'd be a pity when it coses down, Rosslare is the second ferry port of Ireland, and with Brexit, it will only win in importance, imo.

[@LeoStarrenburg]

Thank you Ireland ! And thank you Geoff and Vicky and team for yet another great journey ! Wonderfull drone shots and music, these and the 'Vicky Explores' scenes provide a nice serene retreat from a bustling and bubbling Geoff ;-) Never been to Ireland (*) and I knew they had trains but that was just about it. Until now that is. I wonder if Geoff and especially Vicky will develop an Irish tone of voice during these weeks. Favourite shot of this episode: Vicky looking out of the door at 13:25 (*) Guess the mess of Irishbatt Camp Shamrock in Tebnine doesn't count ...

[@MMaoneuretlh]

I really love this series :) @vicki and Geoff: If you want to have another country, Austria would have about 1500 Stations for you :)

Great first day video! Loved the 'Vicki Explores Avoca' pieces - added enrichment to the programme. (Looks like they drive trains on the right....)

[@jess.hawkins]

I'm so pleased to see you're doing the network in Ireland -have often been curious about rail over there!

[@Tropic101x]

There is a railway museum in the old Downpatrick train station (in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, home of St Patrick) that use to serve Belfast to Downpatrick and Downpatrick to Newcastle via Ardglass, Killough and Dundrum); the line closed in the 1950s though. To visit the museum, the only way down is by car or bus though.

[@bennagle5631]

Really enjoying so far, can’t wait for more!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Brilliant video! The Rosslare to Dublin line is my favourite railway in Ireland. It was great to see the church at Avoca, I'd love to go off the train at Rathdrum oneday.

[@robinevans3440]

Great, glad all is going good. The High School I went to in Scarborough was in Wexford and was Wexford CI, named for Wexford here so was great to see this video. Thanks

[@penninetrains1398]

Great video of your first full day in Ireland - especially the drone footage of Wexford Quay. BTW the rail speed limit along the quay is 5 mph. One slight disappointment was that you did the most scenic section of the line - and probably the most scenic section of railway in Ireland - along the cliffs between Greystones and Bray, in the dark. Keep up the good work and have fun. Look out for all the castles...all of them!!!

Great to see the first official video of a full day in Ireland. It's funny as I didn't know when you were starting, but I decided to pay a fleeting visit to Ireland myself a couple of days before you set out, and rode the Dublin -Rosslare line as far as Wexford and back, the day before you arrived!! In fact, the tweet you sent out saying you were in Ireland arrived in my phone as I was at the ferry port in Dublin, waiting for the ship back to GB !! Enjoy Ireland!!
