OK this is the longest of long shots and will only mean anything to #irish folk or even #dublin (ers)…anyone got ANY idea where I could get my hands on photos of DART TRAIN INTERIORS FROM 1980’s??

@toothless I hope you find them and I am very curious if the interiors looked any different
@annika I gather there have been various different types of carriages over the years though presumably all with the same lush green check upholstery ! I’d particularly like to find images with posters/ads from the era.

@toothless might be worth contacting RTE to see what DART footage they have in their archive.

@toothless They originally did, but those were removed because they were so heavy and people kept hurting themselves on them.
There are some blueprints here: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/5636-seeking-blueprints-cie-class-8100-dart/
404 on the pdf in the last comment, but the original is still up on irishrail.ie - https://www.irishrail.ie/IrishRail/media/Imported/ie_foi_069_0_16076_0_01_000_00_two_part_electric_suburban_train.pdf

@toothless these guys have private archive on flickr. But I suspect reaching out to them might be the best option
