Route 100X - Dundalk to Dublin via Drogheda and Dublin Airport has received new i6s/ SEs to replace the delapidated LEs. New shiny coaches look well in the sun today:

^^^^^^^
Nice idea, but they still look the same design as many other Expressway coaches.

There is significant disruption at present around Ireland due to Truck/ Farm Contractors protesting about high fuel costs. Included are some bus operators, notably those without significant NTA contracts. Talk of sending the army in to move some of the blockades, but nothing on that yet.
Anyway, bus services are operating and certainly in the suburbs disruption is not a big issue. I was in Maynooth today and took these pictures.

251D3550 Parson St. Maynooth 10 April 2026 - Route 139 Naas to Blanchardstown. Sadly these buses use vinyl rather than paint... vinyl always falls off over time.
