Dublin & Ireland

RE: Dublin & Ireland
Due to a significant fire, an underbridge on the Luas (tram) Red Line between Amiens St and The Point was badly damaged to the extent that it will have to be replaced. A replacement bus service is in operation, using some ALXs from Nolans and a number of heavily depreciated ex London tridents and Olympus's. I must take a spin, they look a bit ropey. They will be in operation until the end of November unless something else appears.

More modern, the Dublin Airport Authority are upgrading their car park buses with Irizar iTrams. The charging infrastructure is not ready yet, but it is underway. One of the artics was under test during the last week.
