Headlights

they do dip the lights coming into stations if they are stopping, well down here they do with the intercity trains. not sure how the commuter/dart gets on.

they also use the full beams on the luas out past belgard to saggart.

From my experience at Edgeworthstown, it does appear to depend on the driver. Most do dip lights, some don't. In a well-lit station, he could probably see a bit better without the head-light. But, I wouldn't say is a big deal - just don't stare at the light.

Agree with you James, it's something that won't be top of drivers minds and rightly so. It's like driving, how often do people have to flash others to dim lights. I still don't see an issue either way.
