Paddy's Day '08

So, its all over for another year... Hope you had a great Paddy's Day and made the most of the bank holiday, but sure if you didn't, relax, there's another next Monday!

My memories of bank holidays are a visit to Granny's house for dinner where she would take out the 'silver service' for a special occasion, however todays silver service was a different kind...

A UK private operator on Merrion Square... a name like this just proclaims 'posh', and a nice fleet of Van Hools & Mercs too!
Anyway, as I said in yesterdays entry, I went out and about today with the main aim to sample the diversions and get some photos... so to keep my promise, here you go...

While we now take LED destination displays for granted, as they're fitted to all new VT's & EV's, never forget how we got here... trials! AV389 was one such trial and its seen here coming off its temporary terminus of Custom House Quay heading for Newcastle.
Thats it for Paddy's Weekend '08, but before I go, the luck of the Irish goes to a good friend starting a new venture tomorrow (Tuesday), best of luck with it!
