Scope and content
White Dublin tram seat. One leg is shorter than the other due to where the engine/wheel used to be. The seat back can be moved.
One day Dublin will have a tram service as efficient as the last one was when we started to close it down. In the meantime we are left to admire this seat. At the end of the line, the back-rest was simply turned to face the other way.
