Dublin & Ireland

RE: Dublin & Ireland
Hi. I haven't posted in a while, opportunities to photograph were limited in recent times. Lockdown in Ireland was initially for 2km and then 5km. The latter just about got me into the city centre. I can't complain too much and it has been tough for many, just like over the sea. Buswise, the Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Go-Ahead services ran initially to a Saturday service with peak time extras. Most independent services stopped and have not resumed to date. This list includes Aircoach (First) Dublin Express (National Express - started just before the crisis), Citylink (Comfort Delgro) and JJKavanaghs. Buses are now running at 50% capacity and face masks are mandatory.


VT62 Westland Row 13 July 2020 - Note the destination - this message is carried on all DB buses.


VWD432 Eyre Square, Galway 22 July 2020 - Nothing to do with Corona, but Wrights have managed to deliver the last buses to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann, VWD431 and 432 have recently gone into service in Galway


VWD461 Eyre Square, Galway 22 July 2020 - I do not know why this happened, maybe due to chassis numbers but VVWD461 is from last year and is a year older than 431.


VG36 Eden Quay 18 July 2020 - I said that Dublin Bus was nearly back to normal, however the Tours and Airlink services have been cancelled until further notice. Dublin Bus are using a number of buses as staff facilities for cleaning staff, the buses are strategically positioned around the city. When the buses come in, the cleaners rush out and clean the bus.
