The politics of transport

At the inaugural Hist debate on Monday, the Chair decided to enlighten the assembled Freshers as to the cultural and political significance of Luas - Dublin's tram system.

The Green Line is like Fianna Fáil; it exists in self-absorption and isolation from the real world. The Red Line, however, is like Sinn Féin; it's a little bit scary and does very well in disadvantaged areas.

Naturally, I live on the Red Line, or Breadline, as Stephen so succinctly puts it.
