Airlink - city/airport direct

The first of the new VG class Volvo Wright Geminis for the Airlink service has entered service.

VG36 from Summerhill went into service on Tuesday 10th February 2008.
The new Airlink VG's will see the replacement of older AV's off the service. AV117 is seen above at Dublin Airport.



VG36 is seen at Dublin Airport in these photos on Wednesday 11th February 2009.

These buses feature luggage racking and LCD screens. These screens show route maps for the Airlink 747 & 748 services and details on Dublin Bus tours. Also, when the doors are open the screens show passengers the downstairs luggage rack, therefore giving piece of mind to those travelling with luggage.VG36 is seen outside Busaras Bus Station in Dublin City Centre
The Airlink service connects Dublin Airport with Dublin city centre, bus and rails stations up to very tens minutes.

Nice day for a Wright Wedding

Well with all the snow of late, it was a surprise to see some sun today...
What better day for some Wedding Bus photos, and here we have Phibsboro's VG9 on a Euro duty on the 51B, photos taken at Grange Castle.

Impact!

I am always amazed of the impact of new type of bus has in Dublin city...
The Dublin Bus Volvo Wright Gemini VG class are presently only operating out of Phibsboro and Harristown depots and they are turning heads on the streets with their stylish design, Harristown's VG18 is seen heading onto O'Connell Bridge operating on Summerhill Route 16

And then you can board a Phibsboro VG, VG5 on the 19A and still be surrounded by these new vehicles. A feature which I'm quite impressed by is the break light above the upper deck rear window as seen on VG18 out the window of VG5!
All in all, I'm very impressed and can't wait to see the VG's in Airlink format.
