Thought I'd support this new forum. I'm not a bus enthusiast, but I came across these historic gems on a FB page I frequent. Worth a look.

Thanks. That would certainly explain why I never got to see it during the transition from C-class Leopards to KC-class on that route; just was not fortunate enough to catch it during travels.

Anyone familiar with this blogspot page, of one Rob McCaffery? Lots of photos of CIE buses (mostly Dublin District, but also provincial/Expressway/Airport, and some Ulsterbus and private operators) from between 1979 and 1981.

I saw this scene outside a wedding yesterday and the Drifters song. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." came into my head.

Ah, route 150. That looks like the corner of Clogher and Sundrive Roads, right? which means that's St. Bernadette's.

(Probably too much to ask out of DB to turn the 150 back into the 50, even with the former route to Jobstown long cancelled.)

Thats the spot, man.

If you ask me, they should rename it the 81 or 22A

It's strange to think but these days the only relevance it has to the old 50 is from CC to the coombe and from the star bingo to Millgate Drive

Honestly it staggers me that someone who has to go and get a CPC and is expected to drive responsibly and safely on behalf of themselves and 80 odd passengers just dumps a bus on the footpath like that...
There is no excuse for that.

and no excuse for those indicators either (I'll overlook the 66D registration)

Ring Dualway and complain about it in that case. I'm only posting a nice photo of two buses

New York City tested a China-built BYD K-9 battery-powered 35-seater on route M42 (42nd Street Cross-Town route in Manhattan) recently. (Do not know if New Flyer or Gillig have any competing designs. GM appears to be out of the bus business.)

Some buses this week are being turned out in All-Over Ads for Oreos. So far I have seen the following.

the war against "J-Os":pac:

TheBandicoot

Think that war is lost, J-Os are far superior.

Doesn't help either that Oreo seems to be using the same shade of blue as J-O's advertising.

I think I will stick with a custard cream or a bourbon.

Trebor176

I wonder could these be referred to as Oreo Speedwagons

Csalem

Managed to get another of the two Oreo buses so that is four out of five. Just need the elusive Summerhill one.

Hi all,
I spent two days in London last week and took a few photos of buses there. I have uploaded my Borismaster shots first and can be seen at the link below, and show them operating on routes 9, 11, 24 and 38.

New expressway vehicle?

Think they would use a spellchecker. Like the spelling of "buses"!

I was told by my mum that she was on a bus based in Donnybrook Garage while going on the 18 route to Sandymount on Tuesday morning having a 7UP AOA on it.

I would to see info or a photo if it's true.

Came across this photo and it brought back a childhood memory of a trip into Dublin City Centre as a 4 year old on the now defunct route 65A

http://www.flickr.com/photos/42081946@N03/5217659673/in/photostream/

Also travelled on this pair years later, the MCW on the route 56A and I'm nearly sure the Olympain was on the route 8.

Since it is being reported elsewhere that DB are meant to be getting a Wrights Hybrid on trial for 6 months I thought I would share these pictures of the last hybrid that was on trial in Dublin - WH 1! Not included in this set, but I will upload it at some point, WH 1 became a star for me when it bravely worked the 33 to Balbriggan one evening...only to fail two stops from the end!

Anyhoow, WH 1 on O'Connell Street with a 16 to Ballinteer on 27/08/2009:

WH 1 O'Connell Street 27 08 09 by Rail Scene Ireland, on Flickr

And WH 1 at Lakeside Shopping Centre, near London, when it was number 501 in the Ensignbus fleet on . This shot is quite historical because a few hours later the bus had gone up in flames and was completely destroyed!
