Lets have more of these please.

Doesn't a megarear look very well on an AV. Only a small amount of AV,s have ever received megarears, but they suit the bus very well. Photo below shows AV130 with a rear for DAA Dublin Airport. Captured in Santry North Dublin, before the bus ventures over to the south side.... lol.


The Second photo shows you what the same rear is like on a RV type bus.

The 17A (My Favourite Route)



The 17A used to be my main route to/from work and friends , but the waiting times and unreliable service made me get a car. Havnt been on a 17A in a good few months but take some photos when i get the chance. The route itself is now operated by RV class deckers so its become a bit boring. Never thought ide say this but bring back the AD,s and RH,s, and maybe a KD or two. Go on nobodys looking! ;)




Back to normal on the 104.



It seems the 104 has its normal allocation of low floor buses today, after the shock of an RA on it earlier in the week. This WV is seen outside the funeral home on the Oscar Traynor Rd.

The Front of this WV has seen better days.

Spanish Students


Its that time of year again, when we get invaded by them pests from Spain. It seems on the Northside Barretts have won the contract again to transport them around. They are using an Ex Dublin bus Merc and this coach above, looks like one of Bus Eireann,s VC class.





Bleedin Taxi!

Bleeding Taxi spoiling my shot of a RA on the lovley 130 route, right in the heart of 'Dolly Mixture' land (Clontarf). Taxi,s never around when you need one and always here when you dont!

Can you spot the Stena ferry approaching Dublin Port?




Joining Together



I see the Crown Plaza Hotel and Holiday Inn Express at Santry have joined together to provide a shuttle bus service to the Airport. Two Photos of the Ciatro below. The bus is covered in a Wrap advertising the two Hotels. Putting wraps over windows is a big no no in my books. No Matter how much you can see through them it makes the interior of the bus very dark.. creepyyyy...
