Amberley Publishing Dublin Buses

Dublin Bus was formed back in February 1987 when services were split out of Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) and has, in time, become a modern and forward-thinking bus operator.During July 2018, plans were revealed for a complete overhaul of Dublin’s bus services.The changes planned by the National Transport Authority have led to a renumbering of key routes and changes and improvements to frequencies.As a result Dublin Bus has lost some of its depots and routes to the Go-Ahead group, who have their own livery and created some new routes. In a tour of this fascinating and colourful city, Richard Walter illustrates the transformation of Dublin bus services in the twenty-first century, with photographs taken before and after the changes showing the variety of buses used.Also included are some of the interesting open- and closed-top vehicles that have provided tours ranging from sightseeing to afternoon teas and ghostly goings on.
