Dublin & Ireland

RE: Dublin & Ireland
I was in Ashbourne, which is in Co Meath and is to the north west of Dublin/ west of Dublin Airport. I was disappointed that a standard Streelite appeared on the 197. This operates hourly between Ashbourne and Swords, and unlike standard PSO routes, the contract is different in that the operator provides the buses, not the NTA. Go Ahead bought three dealer stock Enviro 200s and supplemented this with an older Enviro200. It was decided last year to swap these three with three Metrobus Streetlites. However I have failed to photograph any, and everytime I chase the 197, a standard streetlite turns up! In addition to the buses, the ticket machines used are not the standard for PSO services and it is noticeable that the wearing of uniforms is less strict.
