AX639 - Route 47 - Trees Road

Dublin Bus AX639 operates a daytime service through Mount Merrion on Route 47. This routing is a variation of the main route 47 between Poolbeg Street and Belarmine, with daytime services diverted away from the N11 to serve Trees Road, North Avenue and Foster Avenue. This variant has filled gaps left from the removal of routes 5, 11A and 46B over the last two decades.

 

With the arrival of the new PA buses entering service, each new bus means another vehicle leaves the fleet. The ALX400 class has played a major part in transforming the Dublin Bus fleet since they arrived in 2000. These low-floor double deck buses meant routes across the capital could become wheelchair accessible and buggy friendly for parents. A total of 658 ALX400 buses entered service with Dublin Bus over a six year period (448 AV, 200 AX, 10 DT). As we post this photo, just over 20 AX buses remain in service.

 

Between BusConnects and a newly expanding hybrid fleet, the bus service in Dublin is changing rapidly.
