Dublin & Ireland

[Metroline1511]

RE: Dublin & Ireland
I did get to ride all Dublin Bus double-deck types, including examples of both Hybrid prototypes. Also GA Ireland Volvo B9TL, Volvo B5TL and Streetlite, all with GA Ireland moquette. Intriguingly, this moquette reminded me of ScotRail! Also 2 Bus Eireann Expressway coaches (from 2016 & 2021) and a local coach in Donegal from Marley's Coaches.

I also did a Translink coach from Dublin to Derry, and Foyle Metro Electroliners and Kites there.

I did see a Bus Eireann EA in Dublin, probably on driver training. Also a Dublin Bus Streetlite assisting with driver breaks at Eden Quay.

Back in Dublin I rode the Luas extension to Broombridge and the reopened Phoenix Tunnel rail link. I think some 29000 trains had been refurbished.
