Dublin Transport:Discussion
From Dublin Transport
Discuss the Wiki
Hi folks, I've added in all the years for the DUTC from 1925 to the formation of CIE in 1945.
Years include some brief Irish and World events, a tram route list for that year, a bus route list, and a list of new and/or acquired vehicles for that year.
A brief introduction to each year would be nice, on a general basis, under the 'Background...' heading, say political or social issues each year, followed by a more detailed article on the developments on the Dublin transport scene under the 'Dublin Transport...' heading. This will give the opportunity to detail such events as the amalgamation of the DUTC into CIE, or more specific items, for example the cessation of some tram services during the 'Emergency,' or the general fleet renumbering of 1936. I will attend to some of them if I get a chance. There's an awful lot of information to add, so feel free to contribute. Do proof read my contributions, and let me know if you spot an error, although point it out to me before amending, say, any individual vehicle details, unless you are ADDING information, as I will need to double check my own records to confirm.
I have also listed the vehicle fleetlists seperately by class under their own pages, e.g. the A Class (DUTC) and the N Class (DUTC), so that we have an alternative way of viewing fleetlists, by year or by class.
It's still early yet, and the whole layout may still need revision. Do share any ideas you may have. Nigel.

Hi Nigel,
I've been meaning to respond for ages now. Well done on all your work. I have been following the posts on a daily basis, they contain some fantastic information. I have managed to obtain a library copy of the PSV circle book, I didn't know this existed. I was wondering whether there were any more books that you were going to be referencing, or that you think any tram/bus entusiast should have, as I can get my hands on basically all of them at the moment (albiet only on loan). I hope to put something up on route 59 in the coming days, though nothing as definite as I wanted it to be unfortunately. Keep up the good work.
Craig

I'm really just piling the information on now. I will revisit it later and tidy it up, rewrite things, make things as concise as possible. Have been busy the past week, so falling behind. Hope we are going to get a few more contributors... Nigel

Have not been around much lately. Unable to backup the wiki as often as I would like as I am still without the internet in my new house. Hope to be sorted out by December. Darren

Belated Merry Christmas & New Year wishes to you too Nigel and everyone else - Darren
Also I have backed up the wiki twice more - 15 December and 3 January. Also the last few bits of editing I did before Christmas were the cleaning up of the Categories for Routes 1-21
