Beautifully done. Really really enjoyed seeing long serving staff talk about their careers and the challenges along the way. Wonderful to see the thought that is now going into the expansion and improvements in the network. I do hope the government will follow the stable sustainable ethos of CIE remaining a public entity, will attract, retain and value staff and continue to function as a respected public company.
What an amazing video, the individuals who helped make the DART a reality deserve the thanks and appreciation from multiple generations, thanks to them the DART has become an integral and iconic part of Dublin. I am very proud to work for Iarnród Éireann. Happy 40th birthday DART and thank you to all those who made it a reality.
What a terrific video! It was fascinating to hear about some of the issues involved in its planning and construction - I'm old enough to remember the excitement leading up to the first DARTS. It was a really strong team effort - glad to say that it proved the begrudgers wrong and was the catalyst for a radical change in public and political opinion concerning the merits or otherwise of public transport in Ireland. As already mentioned by other commenters, it will be great to see it continue to develop and flourish. Thanks to all at IE.
11:40 in the future, I very much look forward to seeing the DART being extended to Navan with the extension of the M3 Parkway line and a DART Underground from the Irish Ferries & Stena Terminals at Dublin Port via Dublin Docklands rail station, linking in with a Metro Line from Dublin Airport, with the DART Underground going via the 02 Arena to Connolly Station
Happy 40 years Dart , knew a lot of the retirees featured here . I was a fully qualified loco driver 12 months then. Was on the tour of Fairview Depot and the special Dart organised by the Irish Railway Record Society before it opened.
Great memories. Lots of disgruntlement with the trains off in 82 and 83. Got the AEC80 push pull into town day it launched. Harmo to Connolly. Reuturned on a DART. Out took 20 mins. Back was 8 mins. Also remember the super spring loaded jump seats at the door.
10:53 the lack of regulation was probably a good thing - looking at the failure of HS2 here in the U.K. one of the reasons it failed was because of excessive levels of regulation and restrictive trade Union practices, which in addition to holding back progress, which also is a possible reason for constant industrial actions on the U.K.’s railways, which also prevented the high speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin from ever getting past the planning phase
You can blame the unions for your 5-day week, your sick pay, your workplace safety. Unions are a force for good, what ruins UK projects has generally been the tories
Main reason for its failure is the insistance on zero risk contracts by the Tories which inevitably lead to all contractors billing for the maximum possible cost in a worst case scenario in order to cover their ass from this government policy. If the government says the price is fixed and there will be no renegotiations on price then your contract will bill them for a build during a global oil crisis in a pandemic during rampant inflation, and a labour shortage multiplied by ten to be SURE you don't bankrupt yourself even though that likely isn't gonna all happen. Ofc the cost ballooned. Sure some sections are bound to break budget but the Tory plan meant all sections in practice broke budget.
you will never see an 'emotional' self-worshipping video of the engineers agenda to close all the lines West of the Shannon in the late 1980s in which is why the 'real railwaymen' moved the station in Athlone across the river thereby purposefully marooning the Mullingar - Athlone segment. It was a cynical engineering 'solution' to killing off most of the rail network by intent.

Very interesting, to the dedication of those guys making the Dart what it is today and for the future.😊
Amazing work to create an amazing network.
indeed and at a time when there wasn't much money at the time.
Phenomenal video, more of this please !!
"There was no regulation, nobody was hurt"; I love that line. What a great story to preserve, thanks for posting this.
Did you not hear the bit about the journalist nearly being killed by falling rock?

What an inspired video. So nice to see and hear from the people involved in making it all happen back in the day

A brilliant video. Happy 40th and thanks to all who were involved..... from Limerick.
Great video... nice to see all those involved in making the DART happen.
Worked with lots of the people in this video building the dart and of course inspector dan donavan who was over the p way work 👍👍
What a wonderful video !!
Great video. Any chance we could get it without the burned-in subtitles?
Big hullabaloo. In Drogheda some year's back. When a two car set was observed on road 7 at DMU Depot Drogheda. It had arrived for, Wheel Turning.
What are you on about?
amazing
13:10 Nowadays, passengers would just tweet the issue!
The autism is so strong I can recognise the station from the start 2 secs in

It will probably be another 40 years before we see dart+ 😂😂😂
#Newbridge & #Maynooth lines should of been electrified decades ago . 🚆
....dart go faster
Did any of them had any decisions in destroying Ireland's rail infrastucture and preservation attempts over the past decades?

More than likely no.
