Dublin & Ireland

RE: Dublin & Ireland
First/ Aircoach seem to make very odd commerical/ vehicle purchasing decision in recent times. The acquisiton of the ex Glasgow Enviro400s is an example, they have been in store a long time now.

20969 North Wall Quay 15 April 2026 - This came from Matthews Coaches, also part of First but not much in the way of changes there to date. This coach looks well in Blue, but where is is going and as far as I know it is the only one in the Aircoach fleet to date. Apparently this is one of the regular coaches on the Cork route.


11565 Collins Avenue 15 April 2026 - GAI operated route 220, generally Streetlite operated, though these double deckers do appear regularly enough.


SE72 North Wall Quay 15 April 2026 - One of the new bred on the 32 route. Expressway are giving up the 4 Dublin to Wateford and the eastern section of the 40 between Waterford and Rosslare/ Wexford. The 40 between Tralee/ Cork and Waterford will continue to operate. The 52 was also due to be cancelled but this has deemed worthy of keeping in the form of a PSO route. Route 310 will pass from Dublin Coach to Bus Éireann this weekend. A significant upgrade from clapped out ex Arriva T Class Enviro400s to Electroliners.
