My observation is that 41/41c is still heavily dominated by the RV370s and 380s (except at weekends), while there are some AV/AX used. 16a is mainly AV/AX. I noted four 41/41c at the city terminus some days ago and three of them were 97 batch RVs.

The State is facing legal action from a private bus operator that runs a service to and from Dublin city centre to Swords.

It comes to light after the Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey said Dublin Bus had been engaged in predatory behaviour by adding extra services where it competed with private operators.

The case by Swords Express is due for mention in the High Court today.
