IRISH Rail passengers have praised a train driver for his special message on a morning commute.
The train driver appeared to be in a very good mood on a recent journey, spreading it to the other passengers.
One commuter shared a short video on social media showing what happened on the train.
TikTok user Ami Hawkins shared a short video to the platform for her followers.
In the caption of the post, she said: “@Iarnród Éireann who is this diva?”
In the video, the train driver can be heard delivering a special message over the speakers.
He shared a surprisingly motivating sentiment in his announcement, saying: “I would like to thank you for travelling with us this morning.
“I hope you have a fantastic day.
“Remember ladies and gentlemen, this life is for living and enjoying, so as long as you’re doing what you want to do, it’s not hurting anybody, you are having fun – who cares what anyone else thinks?”
He concluded the announcement by saying: “Thanks for your attention and have an absolutely smashing day.”
Viewers were left shocked in the comments section, with many questioning why we can’t have that on every service.
One person commented: “My train rarely even says which DIRECTION it’s going.
“Just like hop on and pray (not even on the signs!)”
Another person spoke about the impact it had on passengers.
They said: “Had them on the Dublin Connolly to Sligo train before and it was a joy.
“Brought a smile to so many people, and even started a few conversations between passengers. an absolute gem!!”
Another viewer wrote: “Often on Maynooth to Connolly train, you can see the change in everyone’s face when he shares his little pep talks.”
Someone else said: “We need more people like this in the world.”
One person wrote: “My fav quote of his is “dont slip and fall, its a job not the love of your life it’s not worth falling for.”
Ami replied to this by saying: “I was fuming I didn’t get that part! It made my day”.
The original poster then added: “That’s his Broombridge special.”
Others called for the driver to be appreciated for what he was doing, with someone tagging Irish Rail and saying: “Give him a raise.”
