RE: Dublin & Ireland
Some pictures from recent trips around the place:

VWL320 Dublin Road, Drogheda 4 July 2024 - Drogheda has five town bus routes D1, D2, 173, D4 and D5. It was always expected that the 173 would be revised but nothing has happened to date. Drogheda needs another revamp of its services as the town continues to grow at a fast rate. As I have mentioned before, there is a right mix of bus types on these routes but these VWLs seem to be mostly appear on the D4 and D5. I suppose not too bad for 12 year buses, very well used and comfortable to travel on.


SG441 Harbour Road, Howth 12 July 2024 - Route 6 was created as part of the H corridor - defined as a Radial route, it runs hourly and is not integrated with the H routes, so I suppose it provides for additional capacity but is also well worth a spin as it travels on some scenic sections and areas of the city dripping in wealth.


EW79 Georges St 14 July 2024 - Appearing in drips and drabs are the EWs and this one appears to be just out of the box.


GT30 James St 14 July 2024 - GTs are rare enough on the S2 but a DB livery one is rarer still as the new routes usually see TFI livery buses on them. Incidentially all GAI buses on city services are in TFI livery and the DB ones are probably in the mid 70% but the figure is distorted by the mix of AX, EVs, VG and VTs that will be replaced with electrics and are not due for painting.
