Two low emission London buses doing trials on route 9 in Dublin and 207a in Cork for the next few months. Neither will be picking up passengers.

Well that’s alright then.

I guess.

FIGHT!

Also: Name those models, anyone?

    Amazing stuff Rois – you never know where an interest in buses will take you.

The bus on the right says it’s part of the RATP group who also do the Paris metro. Very European altogether.

I have been banned and have been asked politely by Broadsheet to stop posting but I am a rude and ignorant bully.

  At this stage we need to be putting all the lycra lads onto a few gym bikes on the roof of these buses. They can ‘cycle’ unimpeded with a beautiful view, drivers won’t impede on cyclists, all the while the lads on the roof are generating the juice. I’ve done my sums and it totally checks out. You’re welcome world!

    But how do I get off the top of the bus to go to Lidl and fill up my basket and panniers?

  Sorry could not resist, but they are not aligned, one is behind the other :)
  
  I have been on many of the hybrid busses in London and they are really nice. Nice also to walk beside them, more so than the other traffic.

The bus on the right is the Brexit express heading for its Waterloo.
