Salthill and Monkstown was opened in May 1837 as one of the stations on the Dublin and Kingstown Railway which initially started service three years earlier, making it one of the first passenger railways in the world. Now, it's a very busy commuter line with the Dublin Dart service carrying thousands of people the 5.5 miles to and from Dublin every day. Its car park is always jammed with many people leaving their cars scattered over the local hinterland. However, since the arrival of CoVid-19, so many jobs have gone, people are working from home, etc., so the busy car park is now nearly empty. Here are some pictures, starting with my wife's car (ironically, I drove it today as it's easier to park) occupying an otherwise empty car park, and ending with a selfie of a masked man.
