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 dont know how old this is. Textile cushions seem long ago.
@Klara @toothless alas, not that long ago

Am I losing my marbles or did the 80’s one’s also have flip down seats by the doors??
Yes.

Not finding anything much online. Building a paper diorama of a train carriage from this era for a film project. Any leads gratefully recieved! #train #rail

@toothless Unless there are published books on these cars — for which, look — I think this is an archives question, and I would be digging in newspaper photo archives.

@aarbrk not sure they’re quite old enough to be high on a train enthusiast’s radar. But then I didn’t expect a response like this either…!

@toothless no reason to reply to this except that I am a transport nerd. I own a handbag lined in moquette fabric from the UK tube network circa 70s, bought from the London Transport Museum so I wondered if anything similar existed in Dublin. It does: https://www.facebook.com/NCAD.Dublin/posts/-nival_ncad-happy-birthday-dart-irishrail-fans-of-the-iconic-dart-upholstery-can/1011869877606594/ and https://www.shedno2.co.uk/products/dublin-dart-tram-moquette-fabric-sold-by-the-metre Can't help with anything else unfortunately.
