Dublin & Ireland

RE: Dublin & Ireland
Thanks for that information. I am not sure how many are coming, I think the first order was for 100, 76 for Dublin Bus and the rest for Bus Éireann in Galway. A second order was for 180 more, but the end totals are not adding up. There is a framework order in place for up to 600 buses. The registration system is similar to that in the UK with two periods but within the Calendar year. We are currently on 202 regs (20 is the year/ 2 is second half) and will be starting 211 in January. The new buses were due by year end, common sense would be wait until January but the NTA like buses going into service as soon as possible. We shall see!

There are lots of garage changes underway at present and a number of routes are due to be improved from this Sunday. A number of routes are to be increased from every 15 minutes to 10/ 12 minutes. The 39A is going 24 hour, joining the 15 and 41 which went 24 hour in 2020.
