PHOTOGRAPHED 7 MAY 2025
As already mentioned I am testing various body-lens combinations and today I selected the Sony FX30 and the Sony 70-200 F4 GII lens and it was not a huge success. The sunlight was too strong for me to see the display and the camera lacks an EVF so all I could was point and pray and most of what I got was unusable.
Bray Daly Station, originally opened in 1854, has grown significantly from a single-platform terminus. Initially serving the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway, its importance increased with the extension of the line southwards. The station was rebuilt and expanded over the years, notably in 1927 with the addition of a new platform and signal box.
A key development was the introduction of the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) in 1984, for which Bray served as the southern terminus until 2000. This electrification transformed the station into a vital commuter hub for those travelling to and from Dublin.
In recent times, Bray Daly has evolved into a multi-modal transport interchange. It now accommodates numerous bus routes operated by Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus, and Go-Ahead Ireland, providing connections to surrounding areas. Ongoing projects aim to further enhance the interchange facilities, creating a more seamless and accessible experience for passengers transferring between rail and bus services, as well as improving pedestrian and cycle access.
