VT on the weekend

feeds@yuku.com (bearded) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:55:25 GMT

Just wondering would I be right in assuming the D'Brook VTs are rested on the weekend? 46a seems to mainly be AVX/EV on weekends.

That said I did see VT3/13 on the 46b last Saturday (possibly the 1715 ex town) but it had BELARMINE (no irish) on the display.. are 46bs extended there on the weekend?

Wedding buses

feeds@yuku.com (AX479) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:52:25 GMT

Looks like Ringsend will only have 1 wedding bus from now on as AX493/495 have returned from re-spray in FS livery leaving AX494 the only wedding bus

RV629

feeds@yuku.com (VC105) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:28:52 GMT

Can i just ask, where was this bus based when new in 1999? (and what routes would it have been on?) I know that both RV628 and RV629 were loaned to Bus Eireann, i think B.E. had them for a year or maybe more, i can't remember rightly, but i remember them based in Drogheda for a while. I think they were working some Broadstone routes like Ashbourne/Kilmoon Cross and Ratoath etc aswell at some stage, maybe after they left Drogheda? So if anyone knows what this bus did from new in 1999, how...

Buses that serve the RDS from the city centre?

feeds@yuku.com (VWL119) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:00:39 GMT

I'm going to be in Dublin either this Saturday or next Saturday, and I need to get a bus from the city centre to the RDS.
As I understand, the 7 and 45 serve the RDS.

Are there other routes that will bring me there from the city centre? I don't mind whether it goes from O'Connell Street, Eden Quay, D'Olier Street etc.

More specifically what routes are operated by what bus types, or is it a lucky dip on Saturdays?

I would like to avoid AVs and...

Buses in Summerhill that are off service

feeds@yuku.com (AV216) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:25:06 GMT

Just a question guys,

Which buses are off service at Summerhill at the moment, the reason I ask is my recent adventure on a WV on the 41B, which is rare!
The buses which come to my mind are:

AV266 (retired)
WH1 (pending reintroduction in the future)

Is there any there any others?

McColl, Balloch 'VL's

feeds@yuku.com (will hughes) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:22:05 GMT

VL2-5 have been re-registered R984-6/93 SSA (in order) in 10/09. No reports yet of new numbers for the WV's.

WH 1

feeds@yuku.com (happy bus) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:08:46 GMT

I've never seen WH 1 close up before but after seen av320s photo of it operating the 16 in Ballinteer I noticed that the upper saloons seats are parted. It reminds of the RAs in 95and 96. It was very uncomfotable. The seats were like blocks. I was never a fan of those type of seats. Sit at the back of an ev and you'll know what i mean. I can't unerstand why they did that. Thank god it is not like that upstairs. As anyone been on WH 1. Is it as uncomfortable as it looks.

RA311 in Warrington

feeds@yuku.com (gnr302) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:59:09 GMT

Was in Manchester for the weekend and took a side trip to Warrington on Monday. Thanks to Redstarcastles for suggesting Warrington! It is the home of 15 ex-Dublin Bus Olympians. Four RHs are 159 - 162, ex RH 77 76 99 and 92. The 11 former RAs are numbered 171 to 181 and were RA 296 307 311 312 313 324 314 319 321 322 and 320.

On arrival, I noticed that all the buses in and out of the bus station were single deck. There was one, 176 (ex-RA324) parked out of service outside the bus...

RA310

feeds@yuku.com (RV612) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:12:50 GMT

Would anyone know who this bus operates with since withdrawm from Dublin Bus?

P.S this was a very sluggush bus when with Dublin Bus which led to it's premature withdrawl if I remember correctly. W/D'd around Sept. '07 as posted on this board.
