The display should read 'Display Out Of Order', however, it seems the out of order notice is out of order!

Even 'Out of Order' can be out of order...
Took this photo on Saturday at the LUAS stop, and temporary terminus, in Abbey Street.

Advertising the bus...
It important to advertise for all products and services... and at Bray DART Station this has been taken to heart.
An impressive display of timetables in an advertising frame is how passengers are informed of services at the station...
A great idea but a pity about the mess on the plastic cover but thats some people for you...

London
I was reminded today by a friend that this time last year we were in London, after going back to look at the pictures from the trip I decided I'd share them by means of a blog entry...
Metroline Enviro 400 TE on the 24 to Hampstead Heath, this route is now operated by London General still using Enviro 400's.
During the trip we visited BBC Television Centre, and took a tour which is well worth it, very interesting.
East London's Dennis Trident ALX400 17496 on Route 101
We also took a trip to Oxford, travelling by Oxford Tube
Oxford has an interesting bus scene:
ALX400's operate the frequent Park & Ride service
They also have Plaxton Verde buses, similar to our old P Class but with a different engine. As can be seen in the background, one is about to be towed...
And also Merc Citaros... as the branding says 'in comfort, in style, in a Merc'!
While Irish interest is maintained by former RH Olympians operating the CitySightseeing open top tour. Former Ringsend RH13 is seen here.
On the return from Oxford, we alighted the Oxford Tube early at Hillingdon and travelled back on the 'real' tube, Piccadilly line.
Then we took a trip on an elusive tube line, the Waterloo & City line...
Not much choice about where to get off... Waterloo or Bank???

Lucan Road goes tri-axle...
A number of VT's at Phibsboro have had their allocations changed and are now operating on the Lucan Road corridor routes.
VT27 is seen here on the 25X at Belfield and also on the 25A at Lucan - Esker Church terminus.
The VT's look surperb and can really be noticed no matter where they go. If only they'd fix that 25A scroll, despite what it says on the scroll the route does not operate 'Via Esker Church', but in fact terminates across the road from it!

More go low floor...
From Monday 11th August, 5 more Dublin Bus routes are going low floor...
Routes 7a, 31, 31b, 67x and 75 will now be operated by low floor wheelchair accessible buses.
Route 7a is Donnybrook operated, AX449 is seen here at the Machintosh Park terminus shortly after delivery in 2006
Routes 31 & 31b are Clontarf operated and AV229 is seen at the Howth Summit terminus.
AV234 is also at the same terminus, not a great photo but I came across it and had to include it because of the now gone CitySwift livery...
Route 67x is Phibsboro operated, AV188 is seen here heading towards Belfield
Route 75 is Donnybrook operated and has been made low floor by the recent transfer of AX's to Donnybrook allowing RA's to be completely withdrawn at the depot. On the same day as the RA farewell run, AX610 is seen on the 75 at Dun Laoghaire.

Route 127 bows out...
Route 127 operated its last departure from Leeson St. at 17:30 on Friday evening. AW3 is seen in the picture above, taken a while back. Both the 127 & 129 commenced operation with AW bendi-buses. More recently these bendi-buses have moved onto the 4 for all day operation.Route 128 which was recently introduced along the Malahide QBC from Clongriffin to Rathmines duplicates the, now former, 127 and operates a full 7 day service as opposed to the minimal departures which the 127 did offer.
AX621 is seen at the 128 terminus in Clongriffin
The 16:00 departure on Route 129 has been cancelled, this departure was actullay operated by the duty which did the 127, hence its removal. The remaining departures on Route 129 remain in place.
AW3 is seen at the 129 Baldoyle terminus.
