Alexander Dennis Enviro 400ER City 11m #PAD 89

18 czerwca 2021 - Galway, Headford Road (R866).
407, diagram 4070302: Bóthar an Chóiste 13.45 → Eyre Square 14.05
The hybrid just left bus stop 524101 Galway Centre - the name not referring in the least to the city centre, but to a shopping centre... not that stop naming has been a strong suit of the National Transport Authority, even if it`s somewhat better than the individual operators. The opposite-headed stop at this location, number 523721, is called Galway Retail Park.
One last photo to capture the nearside of these buses - amongst other things, the only externally located operator`s logo, or the plug-type second door, which is actually the standard for all dual-door double-deckers ordered in the last decade.

29 maja 2021 - Galway, Eyre Square East, R336.
409: Eyre Square - Parkmore Industrial Estate
Starting with the first half of April, hybrid double-deckers manufactured by Alexander Dennis purchased for use on PSO routes by the National Transport Authority have started to appear on Irish roads. As of writing this description, 280 units have been ordered out of a fraemwork contract for up to 600 vehicles. The first batch to have been ordered is for 100 buses, wherein the first 74 are for the capital`s Operator, Dublin Bus, to be split between four garages, and the remaining 26 for Bus Éireann`s Galway city routes. These buses feature the ability to travel approx. 2.5 km on the electric engine alone and are equipped with sockets for garage charging (they are so-called plug-in hybrids). In terms of appearance they stand out by their new livery, which is a mix of compromises between everybody (in particular those who should have no business in this), as well as white LED scrolls (aside from a test scroll on Dublin Bus` SG471, NTA has been ordering orange LEDs to date).



Alexander Dennis Enviro 400ER City 11m #PAD 80

29 maja 2021 - Galway, Siobhán McKenna Road.
404: Oranmore → Westside Shopping Centre
A short digression before the description proper: drivers still keep on setting up the Newcastle destination on the 404 despite the route terminating at Westside probably purely out of habit... which would be fine if it didn`t terminate at Westside S.C. for the past nine years, only serving Newcastle along the way.
The 74 units for Dublin Bus are numbered from PA1 to PA74 (the AVL numbers being 41001 to 41074), and the first route on which they appeared was the 140 operated by Broadstone garage (this route was transferred over from Harristown a few months prior, but even that garage will be receiving these hybrids, but for the 4). Dublin`s 140 is so far the only route on which they are meant to appear, however one bus has been sighted on the 66 already for example (most likely on one of the split duties which are numbered independent of route-based numbering). Bus Éireann`s fleet numbers follow on from Dublin Bus`, with a different prefix however - they are PAD75 to PAD100. These buses may and indeed do appear on everything in Galway - the target is to operate the entire city network in Galway with these hybrids - but so far only scarcely: today I only noted one each on the 404, 405, and 409, and a fourth one parked behind the railway station, and yesterday I was able to see one per each of 401, 402, and 404.
My thanks and regards to the driver!

407: Eyre Square → Bóthar an Chóiste
Along with the conversion of the entire state-sponsored city network in Galway to hybrid buses, it`s very likely that some widescale fleet movements will take place. One can assume that it`s nearly the end of the road for the 2008 single-deckers (since the contract stipulates a maximum fleet age of 14 years), and one of the smaller cities probably awaits the 2012 units. Double-deckers are far more interesting - Galway has a number of deckers made in 2018 and 2019, which will probably find their way to the other larger cities - Limerick and Cork. The catch is that the next city to be converted to hybrid buses after Galway is indeed Limerick, where the PVR is similar to Galway - it may turn out in the end that a whole lot of quite useful diesel buses from the last 5 to 7 years will find themselves without regular work.

10 stycznia 2021 - Galway, Eyre Square North, R863.
419: Oughterard → Galway
A very unexpected sighting. Rte 419 is a regional route which simply shouldn`t have city buses on it (road aside, the speeds are another story - city buses in Ireland are limited to 65 kph). I`m not exactly sure of the diagram of this bus, but it`s quite possible the same bus went out to Clifden soon afterwards - a trip three times as long as this from Oughterard (78.4 km vs 27.6 km).

4 grudnia 2020 - Galway, Kingston Road and Shangort Road junction.
402: Merlin Park Hospital → Seacrest
The 12-year-old single-decker is only one stop away from its terminus. Bus Éireann Galway deploys at least 27 buses Monday to Friday, but the number may be higher. With 24 double-deckers in the garage single-deckers are still needed. This should change early next year, however, as new double-decker hybrids will be brought into service. These hybrids have been purchased as part of a framework contract for the supply of up to 600 buses for Public Service Obligation contract routes.

6 grudnia 2020 - Galway, Eyre Square North, R863.
405: Rahoon → Ballybane Ind. Estate
Should a network expansion occur (which is something not being mentioned by media when it comes to Galway), VWD410 seen here should not be endangered by the hybrid buses... Endangered meaning not removal from service (it`s only a 2-year-old bus after all), but transfer to another garage.



Wright StreetLite Max DF #12133

29 stycznia 2020 - Dublin, Dublin City University campus.
104, diagram 5241: Clontarf Station → DCU Helix
This university is served by a rather rich network of bus connections. Routes 44, 104 and 220/A terminate within the campus, each of them running roughly every hour. The latter only came here in January 2019 when it was taken over by the company in photo (all 220 arrivals change into 104s and vice versa). Furthermore, routes 31D, 42D, and 70D also terminate here - each does one pair of term-time only Monday-Friday rush-hour departures. Walking out to Collins Avenue Extension outside to the left we get hourly departures on the 24-hour regional route 109A (DCU is served by daytime departures only, however). On top of that, a pair of Monday-Friday rush-hour rte 126 trips terminates there (well, the morning arrival is rte 126D, the evening departure is a plain 126). Walking a bit to the west gate we arrive at Ballymun Road, whish is served by the afore-mentioned 70D, but also by the all-day routes 4, 9, 11, 13, and 155, each of them operating at a frequency between 12 and 30 minutes midday. If you want to or need to take a walk, about 400-500 metres to the east we have Swords Road with routes 1, 16, 33, and 41/C, as well as the regional rte 101. Except for the 33, all city routes run between every 12 and 20 minutes midday.
The main reason why I`m mentioning this is that with todays results publication, my four-year study at DCU is now finished.



Volvo B5TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 #VWD431

21 czerwca 2020 - Galway, Costello Road.
402: Seacrest → Merlin Park Hospital
And the lost sheep has been found - VWD431 was the last of the 429-432 batch to enter revenue service. This batch was delayed maybe by even a year, but was finally delivered to Galway in May.

14 stycznia 2020 - Newtownmountkennedy, R772.
184, diagram 4251: Bray Station → Newtownmountkennedy (Newcastle Hospital)
Route 184 terminates here, by the Newcastle Hospital. With the transfer of the route to GAI the service level was improved - going up from a 30-min frequency Mon-Fri, 60-min Saturdays, and 120-min Sundays straight up to every 30 minutes every day. Thus rte 184 became a much more worthwhile option when it comes to getting to the closest towns (Greystones and Bray as seen on the scroll) and the nearest train stations. Bus Éireann also operates rte 133 through here, but how important is it aside from a direct access to Dublin city centre and airport... I have no idea.

15 stycznia 2020 - Dublin, car park near Clontarf Road station.
104, diagram 5231: DCU Helix → Clontarf Station
With route 104 being taken over by Go-Ahead Ireland the terminus in Clontarf moved. Instead of terminating at the Clontarf bus garage, some 2.5 km to the east from here, it now terminates by this DART station. It offers some transport integration - you can see the station building to the left of the photo, the DART runs every 10 minutes Monday to Friday, and you just have to fit in well with the 104 that runs every hour. The card with 5231 seen in the front window is the bus running number (or `board number` as referred to in Dublin Bus), which is not related to the route number, in comparison to Dublin Bus practice.



Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 MMC 10.8m #2703

7 stycznia 2020 - Ashbourne, R135. Go-Ahead currently has three Public Service Obligation contracts signed with the NTA. The first of these, for the operation of city services in Dublin, commenced operations on 9 September 2018 and was introduced phase-by-phase all the way until 24 March 2019. Although signed second, the third to commence was the Kildare commuter routes contract, where operations started on 1 December 2019 (with the second and last phase set to start on 19 January 2019). The last contract is this small one for rte 197, which began on 24 November 2019. Rte 197 is a local linking route operating between two towns to the north of Dublin along roads which made me question whether having a bus run there isn`t too much. The operator purchased three of the buses as seen above, but on top of that, two of the 40 Streetlites from the city services contract have been adapted as operational spares.

14 września 2019 - Dublin, Clontarf Road. There you go, a single-doored piece of cardboard-quality construction. Rte 130, operated by the Clontarf depot, for the longest time has been home to the oldest buses in the garage. After the last Clontarf AVs were withdrawn in 2018, it`s now this type of Alexander "scrap".
