Double decker bus painted like a cottage parked at St Annes Park [Clontarf, Dublin, yesterday]. Anyone any idea?
Who knew so many people have been offed by speeding buses in movies?
Cliché aficionado and master compiler Harry Hanrrahan knew.
That’s who.
Scenes from the incident on Dawson Street/Nassau Street, Dublin, yesterday evening.
Gardaí believe the dead man was involved in a confrontation at around 5.40pm and either fell, was punched or pushed on to the road where he was hit by a bus.
The man, who is thought to be in his 20s, sustained severe head injuries and died at the scene.
Gardaí are treating his death as suspicious and are searching for two men in connection with the incident.

Taxi and bus collide at the Harrington St and Camden St junction [Dublin]. Big delays…
UPDATE: It seems the aftermath will feature in the new RTE documentary series ‘Firefighters’

UPDATE: And by ‘bus hostage drama’ we do mean ‘a minor, fairly amusing first person account of a trifling incident on a bus’.

Myself and some friends caught the Dublin-Edenderry bus yesterday to our usual stop, two after Celbridge village. We have been taking this bus for two years paying the standard fare to Celbridge of €3.60 without incident.
Today however as we approached the door at the usual stop the driver stopped my friend and asked had he got a ticket. “I have, I paid you for it.”, my friend replied. He then refused to let us off the bus until we paid a further €1.70 for the journey from Celbridge village to the stop above (which happens to be next to a sign that says Celbridge on it).
This is a bit odd as it only costs €4.60 to go to Clane which is a good 10 minutes further down the road. So my two friends paid up and as I went to place the cash on the shelf part of the ticket machine the driver freaked out and grabbed my hand. I told him to let us off or we were calling the police and after shoving the new ticket in my face he opened the door. Long story short, he was a total a***hole. Here’s a photo of him jovially waving goodbye when he let us off the bus after a ten minute hostage situation!
