Volvo B5TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 #VWD410

6 december 2020 - Galway, Eyre Square North, R863.
405: Rahoon → Ballybane Ind. Estate
Should a network expansion occur (which is something not being mentioned by media when it comes to Galway), VWD410 seen here should not be endangered by the hybrid buses... Endangered meaning not removal from service (it`s only a 2-year-old bus after all), but transfer to another garage.

Volvo B5TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 #VWD413

27 may 2020 - Galway, Gateway Retail Park access road.
405: Rahoon → Ballybane Ind. Estate
The bus just departed the western terminus of the cross-city rte 405. Including a scheduled 5-minute layover at the central transfer stop, the trip is scheduled to take 38 minutes.
In terms of Irish transport, the novel coronavirus left its mark quite visibly. Mostly as a result of quite strict civilian movement restrictions (the initial restriction was to not go further than a 2 km radius from their residence if not for work, shopping or medical needs; currently the cap is set at 5 km), most private companies that run commercial services suspended them until further notice. Public Service Obligation routes - that is, routes contracted with the NTA - saw so-called "Saturday Plus" schedules introduced Monday-Friday from 1 April. They are simply Saturday schedules with extra trips in the mornings where the Saturday schedule started noticeably late, and keeping those routes that don`t run on Saturdays running. However, the companies that are taking the biggest blows are those whose existence relies on school services and tourism-oriented hires.
This photo was taken during exercise and well within the 5 km radius from my current residence.

407: Eyre Square → Bóthar an Chóiste
Along with the conversion of the entire state-sponsored city network in Galway to hybrid buses, it`s very likely that some widescale fleet movements will take place. One can assume that it`s nearly the end of the road for the 2008 single-deckers (since the contract stipulates a maximum fleet age of 14 years), and one of the smaller cities probably awaits the 2012 units. Double-deckers are far more interesting - Galway has a number of deckers made in 2018 and 2019, which will probably find their way to the other larger cities - Limerick and Cork. The catch is that the next city to be converted to hybrid buses after Galway is indeed Limerick, where the PVR is similar to Galway - it may turn out in the end that a whole lot of quite useful diesel buses from the last 5 to 7 years will find themselves without regular work.

Volvo B5TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 #VWD430

27 may 2020 - Galway, Bishop O`Donnell Road, R338.
405: Ballybane Ind. Estate → Rahoon
Slightly behind schedule, this somewhat new bus is climbing its last kilometre. VWD430 entered revenue service only in the past month, which is curious because BÉ had already long ago put VWD460 and VWD461, buses several months newer than this, into revenue service.
It looks like the Saturday Plus schedules will soon be gone, however. Rumours have started that regular Monday-Friday schedules will be back from 8 June. Given that the restrictions that were put in place to slow down the coronavirus spreading are being loosened up, it was expectable. One thing that remains to be seen, however, is whether Bus Éireann will return to its full service on their commercial long-distance "Expressway" routes. A few weeks ago they were forced to introduce reduced schedules after it turned out that their cash reserves are ending, and keeping a full Expressway schedule supposedly cost them up to €750,000 a week...

Volvo B5TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 #VWD431

21 june 2020 - Galway, Costello Road.
402: Seacrest → Merlin Park Hospital
And the lost sheep has been found - VWD431 was the last of the 429-432 batch to enter revenue service. This batch was delayed maybe by even a year, but was finally delivered to Galway in May.
