Dublin Bus || Volvo B9TL Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 EV5 (07-D-30005) || Route 150

An EV on the 150 is something that quite likely won't be seen for much longer. From the 10th August, the 150 will be operated by Summerhill which I'm quite unhappy about to be honest. Aside from the possibility of nothing but PAs and EWs doing it, I just don't think Summerhill suits the route as much as Ringsend does. It was bad enough when the 15s moved to Summerhill but now that the 150 will be moving there, it really is the end of a lot of great memories that I have doing it, going way back to the days when the WVs were on it. So here we have EV5 which is currently the oldest EV in service. And compared to some 07s, EV5 is actually in pretty good nick. Not that it's as good as the likes of EVs 2 and 7, but I'd definitely get it over 63 and 64 if I had the option of getting the 3 of them. Enjoy folks!
