A few inaccuracies. The L&NWR station originally opened in 1861 as a ferry terminal with no rail connection. There may have been siding access off the MGWR liffey Line when this opened in 1864, however, the connection shown in your video north to the GNR(I) line only opened in 1877. In addition, the line from Church Road Junction to The Point Depot (now the 3 Arena) opened in 1878. Mention also needs to be made of the line from Amiens Street to Newcomen Junction opened in 1892. Finally, the line into Dublin Port remains and was used until recently for TARA Mines traffic (currently suspended as mining operations are suspended for cost reasons).

Thanks for the info! I was unaware the GSWR opened their depot before they had their own line.
The opening dates of the LNWR station and connecting line are indeed mixed up.
The reason the port tramway was not shown was because I wasn't including sidings or tramways.

What a disaster they couldn't have planned a central station. It would have been so so much better.

[@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies]

There was a plan to build an underground central station below Temple Bar in 1973. But like everything else all came to nothing.

This would be better with both old and new photos of the actual train stations. It's an interesting subject matter

[@anoniaino]

I haven't filmed them enough yet for that, but don't worry I'll be making videos of them in the future.

Reopening of the Athlone to Mullingar link would have a choice of Connolly station living in Galway, Mayo & Roscommon by train.

At the train station on harcourt street a train crashed through the window and fell onto the road in the year 1900 because of greasy railway tracks.

[@anoniaino]

as a result of this, all trains were stopped at Ranelagh before continuing onwards towards Harcourt Street to make sure they were going slowly enough.
