Throwback Thursday (89)
A trip back this week to 2003. DT 4 is seen on O'Connell Street with a service on route 19 from Jamestown Road to Bulfin Road. DT 4 was one of the ten Dennis Tridents delivered to Dublin Bus in 2003. Since 2000 Dublin Bus had received buses from Alexander which later became Alexander Dennis. The buses were delivered with ALX 400 bodies but with Volvo chasis/engines (AV/AX Class). The DT represented a complete package from Alexander Dennis. Although these were a more powerful bus than the standard AV Dublin Bus only received these 10, whereas they received 648 Vovo versions over six years. Now in 2017 the DT Class is about to be withdrawn and replaced with new SG types from Wrights. Today the class can normally be found on peak-time extras and operate out of Harristown Garage.
