Alexander Dennis Enviro 400ER City 11m #PAD 80
29 may 2021 - Galway, Siobhán McKenna Road.404: Oranmore → Westside Shopping Centre
A short digression before the description proper: drivers still keep on setting up the Newcastle destination on the 404 despite the route terminating at Westside probably purely out of habit... which would be fine if it didn`t terminate at Westside S.C. for the past nine years, only serving Newcastle along the way.
The 74 units for Dublin Bus are numbered from PA1 to PA74 (the AVL numbers being 41001 to 41074), and the first route on which they appeared was the 140 operated by Broadstone garage (this route was transferred over from Harristown a few months prior, but even that garage will be receiving these hybrids, but for the 4). Dublin`s 140 is so far the only route on which they are meant to appear, however one bus has been sighted on the 66 already for example (most likely on one of the split duties which are numbered independent of route-based numbering). Bus Éireann`s fleet numbers follow on from Dublin Bus`, with a different prefix however - they are PAD75 to PAD100. These buses may and indeed do appear on everything in Galway - the target is to operate the entire city network in Galway with these hybrids - but so far only scarcely: today I only noted one each on the 404, 405, and 409, and a fourth one parked behind the railway station, and yesterday I was able to see one per each of 401, 402, and 404.
My thanks and regards to the driver!

29 may 2021 - Galway, Eyre Square East, R336.407: 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.

29 january 2020 - Dublin, Dublin City University campus.104, diagram 5241: Clontarf Station → DCU Helix This university is served by a rather rich network of bus connections. Routes 44, 104 and 220/A terminate within the campus, each of them running roughly every hour. The latter only came here in January 2019 when it was taken over by the company in photo (all 220 arrivals change into 104s and vice versa). Furthermore, routes 31D, 42D, and 70D also terminate here - each does one pair of term-time only Monday-Friday rush-hour departures. Walking out to Collins Avenue Extension outside to the left we get hourly departures on the 24-hour regional route 109A (DCU is served by daytime departures only, however). On top of that, a pair of Monday-Friday rush-hour rte 126 trips terminates there (well, the morning arrival is rte 126D, the evening departure is a plain 126). Walking a bit to the west gate we arrive at Ballymun Road, whish is served by the afore-mentioned 70D, but also by the all-day routes 4, 9, 11, 13, and 155, each of them operating at a frequency between 12 and 30 minutes midday. If you want to or need to take a walk, about 400-500 metres to the east we have Swords Road with routes 1, 16, 33, and 41/C, as well as the regional rte 101. Except for the 33, all city routes run between every 12 and 20 minutes midday.
The main reason why I`m mentioning this is that with todays results publication, my four-year study at DCU is now finished.

15 january 2020 - Dublin, car park near Clontarf Road station.104, diagram 5231: DCU Helix → Clontarf Station
With route 104 being taken over by Go-Ahead Ireland the terminus in Clontarf moved. Instead of terminating at the Clontarf bus garage, some 2.5 km to the east from here, it now terminates by this DART station. It offers some transport integration - you can see the station building to the left of the photo, the DART runs every 10 minutes Monday to Friday, and you just have to fit in well with the 104 that runs every hour. The card with 5231 seen in the front window is the bus running number (or `board number` as referred to in Dublin Bus), which is not related to the route number, in comparison to Dublin Bus practice.

7 january 2020 - Dublin, Malahide Road and Kilmore Road junction.104, diagram 5241: Clontarf Station → DCU Helix
Almost all PSO service buses since 2012 have been bought by the state transport authority. This holds true for this bus as well - as part of its Dublin city services contract, Go-Ahead Ireland received 40 of these buses from the NTA. Current schedules require 33 of these buses Monday-Friday, and they are used on routes 33A, 33B, 104, 111, 161, 184, 185, 220/A, 238, 239, and 270. They used to operate rte 102 as well, but have since disappeared from there in favour of double-deckers.

24 october 2019 - Dublin, Tallaght, The Square. A few years after the mass purchases of ALX400 bodywork buses (there were 659 bought in total, 649 on Volvo and 10 on Dennis chassis), Dublin mass-ordered Volvo B5TLs with Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 bodywork (oh wait, that`s actually Gemini 3 with a Gemini 2 face). The final number is 621 buses for Dublin Bus (including the 49 units transferred to Go-Ahead), and at least 36 more for Go-Ahead. As a result there are at least 657 units to be seen around Dublin, all from 2012-2020 production, easily matching the previous bulk from the years 2000-2006.

14 september 2019 - Dublin, Clontarf Road. There you go, a single-doored piece of cardboard-quality construction. Rte 130, operated by the Clontarf depot, for the longest time has been home to the oldest buses in the garage. After the last Clontarf AVs were withdrawn in 2018, it`s now this type of Alexander "scrap".
