Yet another InterCity Class 22000, but this time it is definitely not about the train. The line from Dublin to Greystones is rightly renowned as one of the prettiest in Ireland as the train skirts Dublin Bay and then hugs the Irish Sea. But actually pretty much ALL of the journey down to Rosslare Europort is beautiful. Once we swing away from the coast the countryside of County Wickow and County Wexford, with hills, rivers, estuaries and coastline, delivers what I think is the all-round most scenic ride I've ever had in Ireland.

Come and join me as I continue to explore the towns and rail routes of this beautiful country.

    Great report on my local line! It was even more magical in the days when the Rosslare train station was down on the harbour wall.

    Great video mate. Wicklow is known as "The Garden of Ireland" As the train passed along the quays in Wexford town, you would have passed the Statue of Commodore John Barry, He was the founder of the U. S Navy, and he was from Wexford. Also Wexford was home for John F Kennedy , both sets of his grandparents were from Wexford.

    Thanks for showcasing my line! I'm from Gorey and not that many reviewers come down here.

    As someone who has lived on various parts of this line, it is great to see that you enjoyed it and shared it with fellow railfans. I have some interesting points. At certain points the service does not trail a DART and can be ten minutes quicker Connolly <-> Greystones, and tickets are valid on both on this leg. There is a brand new midnight service that runs after the DART have finished service. Sometimes I have seen them use the ageing green commuter sets in place of the IE Class 22000 which can be miserable. Thank you for the video!

    Your filming is always so good - you always give us enough time to drink in a particular scene without bouncing around rapidly like a startled squirrel. Fave bit? All of the journey really! Thanks once again.

    Done that journey several times by car. My brother and his family live inland from Bray and his wife's family have 2 "huts' on the sea front at Rosslare beach. You can see the Europort from the front of the hut. It is certainly a very scenic journey.
