Dublin Trams 1910 Timetable - National Archives

KC61

The 1910 Dublin tram timetable is now available online in the National Archives website.

It provides a fascinating insight into how the city was served by public transport nearly 100 years ago.

Interestingly, the Palmerston Park tram ran every 5 minutes - so the terminus was probably very busy, far busier than today with the 128 and 142!

Isn't that something else - I presume it was for those unable to read (illiterate)

as you see the basis for many of BAC bus routes are still the 1910 tram lines.

Not so happy days though for the poor divils without a roof on the upper deck of those trams though.
And the state of the tram track in the picture doesnt suggest a terribly smooth ride either

By the way, has there ever been a map of the original period tram routes in Dublin (and Belfast/ Cork) posted somewhere on the net? Those timetables give you an idea of the routes, but I dont know Dublin that well to visualise in my head where all the lines are.

Sure that isn't just rainwater just splashed out from the rails as the tram passed?

For "rainwater" put "horse dung" :eek:
