Holy cow seeins the single decker busses, bendy busses and RH/RV class is crazy, brings you back

[@TransportEnthusiast]

Nice video. Route 102 is such a good route IMO. I will miss the AVs/AXs/EVs and VGs on it. It's sad to see Dublin Bus lose the route.

[@paulaherne3915]

It should've remained part of DART.

Great Video Ste sad to see them leave, I really liked the 17A and 102 with Dublin Bus. AV281 look well at 8:50. Nice video none than less!

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks Jack, it's a terrible shame, I'm just thankful to have footage of DB on those routes.

[@BusesInDublin]

Ah true there! Some Double Deckers Already on the 102 :). Maybe it will be a mix between Single and Double Deckers, Interesting that!

[@capnskiddies]

Spent my youth on the 17a. Such a shitehouse of a bus route. The timings were wildy optimistic.

[@SeanTheBusEnthusiast]

17:00 AX500 changed to Go-Ahead now as 11704 I think

[@trainsinireland5063]

Nice Scenes Stephen!😃.It's ashame Dublin Bus could have not held on to these routes!.

[@adammaher6601]

Yes it is.

[@adammaher6601]

Dublin Bus are better than Go-Ahead Ireland

[@irishrailtrains]

Yes it's a terrible shame and a great loss for Dublin bus in terms of profits. They made a lot of profit with the 102 and the 17A

[@adammaher6601]

And also the buses are in Blue and Yellow

[@reesekilbride136]

We need Dublin bus back for the 102 route. Go aheads management is lacking and busses are constantly 5-10 minutes late + bus drivers aren’t pleasant.

[@dannyblake5089]

Even the ducks are good

[@stephenhyland4256]

Can’t see Go Ahead lasting much longer lost nearly all of their experienced Drivers money is terrible and human rights doesn’t exist with them Drivers were taken their breaks in hospitals and not been provided with anywhere to heat their food their school their running is what barley keeping them afloat but lack of experience proving costly with RTA’s on the road.
