Vicki and Geoff are travelling to 198 railway stations in Ireland and Northern Ireland!
All The Stations - Ireland sees the duo exploring the length and breadth of the Iarnród Éireann and Northern Ireland Railways networks. Along the way, they'll meet the communities connected to the lines, interview local people and those who work on the railways, to find out about their experiences of travelling by train.
To The Book! "The Railway Adventures" is published by September Publishing and was released in October 2018. It accompanies the 2017 'All The Stations' adventure, when we travelled to all 2,563 railway stations in Great Britain. Available here: www.amzn.com/1910463876

Leap cards are superior because they have a picture of a frog on them. I mean TfL say "Oyster" but they don't commit.
-
And I want to give a shout out to Harry and his All The Stations Ireland sign!!! Awesome stuff 🚞 🇮🇪 😀👍
-
Guys I hate to make this emotional point, but Harry is the embodiment what you've started in the youth of Ireland and the UK, in the that there are kids like him who enjoy the trains just about the same amount that Geoff does but harry is considerably younger. If you don't realise it what 2 years ago and now are doing this is your legacy, this is what now what you guys will be remembered for, you're doing a good thing to keep the railways in the forefront of people's minds through these videos. Your doing great guys please don't stop with your conquest.

I just love that interaction with the young boy and his mom who were waiting for you on the DART platform for you. Just shows how many people you and your channel have connected with. Great work!

Compliments to Vicki on her Irish pronunication - good job.
-
I live for Vicki's faces during these videos. By the end of the journey there will be so many gifs.
-
Does anyone else get goosebumps in the intro - or just me
-
Seriously, Kudos to your music creator, the incidental music on this journey really adds to the enjoyment.
-
Harry single handedly makes me want to be a parent holy shit. That was so cute
-
I remember Pearse from a course I got sent on back in the early 2000s. As you came in, there was a huge sign across the back wall: "PASSES MUST BE SHOWN" At some point after they'd put that up, they'd installed a train information display... which covered up the P.

I could fall asleep 😴 wake up & know were I was without opening my eyes. I know there isn't many stations but when you catch it for ten years we all would. Of course one can catch the bus or drive & drive also. I recommend travelling on the dart for anyone who likes stunning views as the scenery between Dalkey to Bray is outstanding as Wicklow is known as the garden of Ireland❤🇮🇪 👍
-
✔ Wonderful! I bet you guys made that young gentleman Harry's day, great memories for him...that was really well done! 👍 Love Vicki's scarf! ...take care...lots of love 💖

Love the sound of DC traction at 15:00 :)

I don't know why I love these videos so much. My only experience with the UK & Ireland is changing planes once at Heathrow and flying over the Emerald Isle on my way back to the US. Geoff's nerdiness (born of true enthusiasm for trains) is absolutely endearing; Vicki's very subtle eye rolling and head shaking at Geoff make me laugh out loud. In short, I love them both! From the real people they meet along the way to the small bits of small "h" history along the way - all coupled with beautiful imagery, have led me to my greatest binge-watch ever. And those least used stations ... sigh! So wistful!
-
This upload just made my weekend a little bit better!
-
Is it just me or the part at Seapoint station brought a tear to my eye. Geoff and Vicki are such lovely people.
-
There's a transport museum in Howth that I think you'd like. Also if you like castles, theres a great one near Malahide Dart station.
-
Bang on time as per usual! And the leap card is available in every Irish city and donegal strangely enough.

I took the DART to Howth last year on St. Patrick's Day to do the cliff walk. It's a splendid trip that takes less than half a day. It's a 25-30 minute train ride from Dublin Tara Street (leaving every half hour at least) and then a 2-hour hike along some gorgeous cliffs in Howth. It's an easy hike and it feels like you're at the edge of the world. Then just hop on the train back to Dublin. Highly recommended for anyone who has a short stay in the city. Also, I never went to any national rail stations (except for St. Pancras to catch the Eurostar) the one time I visited the UK, so it's great to see stations I stopped at in Ireland on my one trip there on All The Stations. Keep it up, Geoff and Vicky!
