Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It highlights some of the new GT double-deckers due, which are more Volvo B9TL-Geminis. These will be the first new vehicles for Dublin Bus since 2009 and should see the final Olympians withdrawn. When I went there last year I noticed how most if not all Dublin Bus stock dated from 1999-2009.

Artics are extinct as well.
The new dual Door Volvo B9T/Wrights appear to have bodywork that is near identical to London specification - long staircases etc, (can anyone confirm?)however the dual doors are little used by many drivers which means passengers still try to exit from the front, some drivers use the centre doors at busy City Centre stops only.

Yeah been over quite recently. I have to say all of the buses appear in great condition...
Have you been on the 747 Airport bus to the city centre?

Is it common to see a Dublin Bus Alx400 VolvoB7TL in Birkenhead? I saw two yesterday by pure chance as I was outside Hamilton Square station making my way to Liverpool. I asked an enthusiast on the same train as me if he knew anything of it. He had seen one yesterday but not two. AV291 had 'Entering Service' on its desty.

That thought popped into my head with them being so close to the event. Another was a coach tour and was on their way for the passengers and then ferry back to Ireland.
