Limerick skyline with a paddle steamer Flying Huntsman in the foreground. This photo was originally uploaded well over a year ago, but has never attracted any comments! Hoping that by "recycling" it today, we can find out more about it... P.S. This photo has been chosen as his favourite NLI Flickr Commons photo by swordscookie, and he's written and sent in a paragraph about it by Flickr Mail which will appear on our NLI Blog. This is for our celebration of the 5th anniversary of the Flickr Commons on Wednesday 16th. I've had a lot of responses, and here's the first NLI blog post, with a second one on Tuesday hopefully. If any of you would still like to get involved, just Flickr Mail me the title (and a link) of your favourite photo, and a paragraph telling why it's your favourite (by Monday 14th). Thanks to everyone who's contributed so far - a surprising and interesting range... Date: circa 1910?? (but definitely between 1900 and 1940) NLI Ref.: EAS_2794

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
