I've just seen 2 photos of GT159 in the new Dublin Bus Boh's 130th Birthday livery. Unfortunately I have read that some people online have complained about the livery & it was subsequently been taken down. Is this bit of news true?

okeeffe6789 from The Irish Road Passenger Transport Forum took these 2 photos of GT159. I think it looks well.

Even as a Shels fan I have no issue with that. It looks well.

In fact it would be a great idea, and a good, and given we are celebrating our 125 anniversary this year to stick a bus in the colours one of the big 4 Dublin clubs (and maybe UCD and Cabo and Bray).

All for this sort of promotion.

The NTA told DB to take it off apparently understandable really given Bohs are not the only professional football team in Dublin. Might not go down too well with Rovers or Shelbourne fans.

Well it's out on the 38 this morning.....

Head honcho Ray is a fan. Probably sweet talked them into keeping it for a bit.

Is it fair to expect at this stage that the 205 markings would be removed off it ?

VWD 17 is the bus that has eluded me this year. Since lockdown started in March I have seen VWD 15,16,18-20 on the 101 but not VWD 17. This oddball spends all of its time in Dundalk with VWD 1 and 2 so I was glad to get a photo of it earlier this month on the 174:

Last night a GT was involved in a serious collision where an Almera ran a red and I heard was either stolen and or been chased, it was on Northumberland road, Driver and passenger injuries.
Hope all recover.

A dreadful incident.
Hope all recover without serious damage.

This sort of event is becoming all too common and will only get worse until government and the courts start to take it seriously.

Looks bad and hope all involved can make a full recovery and the scum responsible are reprimanded. On a lesser note I can't see GT8 returning to service too soon as it looks like some there was some nasty damage done to it. I'm guessing this happened on route 7 as GT8 is a Donnybrook bus.

I doubt it'll be back at all.

I can't see it myself. Possibly the worst DB accident since Wellington Quay.
