Dublin & Ireland

RE: Dublin & Ireland

GT2 North Wall Quay 2 June 2023 - The 142 is a peak hour service between University College Dublin (UCD) and Malahide/ Portmarnock on the north of the city. The route operates via the Port Tunnel. GT2 is now 11 years old and remains in DB livery. The repainting of the fleet is progressing at a rapid pace and it is likely that GT2 will be painted, DB have a four year paint cycle for their buses. The intention was to withdraw buses after 12 years, but since there are 06 ALX 400s still about, the 12 year cycle is not goint to be met any year soon. There are probably at least 100 new electric double deckers in store and around 20 single deckers, delayed to a lack of charging infrastructure. I would expect a lot of electrics in service by June 2024.


LC217 Amiens St 2 June 2023 - Bus Éireann don't appear to have any repaint programme, but I have to be honest, the Dublin based fleets looks very good at present.
