Bus Eireann 'KE27'
Bus Eireann (Broadstone) Bombardier KE class inter city coach 'KE27' on an evening commuter service from Dublin to Tullamore.
The location is just past Celbridge, Co Kildare. Of note perhaps is the vehicle following. It is a vintage E class Leyland Leopard L2 operated by Bus Eireann in 1991. Part nostalgia and part practicality.
The E, or to use full CIE terminology, the E car, had acted as a relief to the KE class.
The E class shadowed the KE for a little bit more until sufficient passengers had disembarked from both buses to allow the services to be combined, and continue on using just one bus. As the relief the E class then returned from there to Dublin.
