DublinBus (Phibsboro) VT48

 

DublinBus VT48 is noted boaridng passengers at a stop in Huntstown operating Service 39A Ongar - Blanchardstown - City Centre - University College Dublin.

 

DublinBus have 70 VTs in service currently, generally confined to a limited number of routes. VT1-35 are in Donnybrook for us on the 46A/145 and now the 75. VT36-43 are based in Broadstone for peak-time work on services 33X/66X/67X, and VT44-70 are based in Phibsboro for use primarily on the 39A, with appearances also made on the 38 and 39.

I thought I would try incorporating my Astrophysics CCDT67 into the imaging train to increase my FOV and to get a better imaging scale.

 

I set the spacing to 85mm which would give me the proper .67x reduction.

 

I am very pleased with the way the stars turned out and at the spacing of 85mm the AT8RC is now operating at f/5.4 with a focal length of 1105mm. My sampling is now at .859 "/pix which is almost perfect for my average seeing of 2.5-3".

 

Unfortunately the fog rolled in while imaging M27 and only ended up with 8 x 600 sec L bin1.

DublinBus (Broadstone) VT42

 

Things have been busy recently but I managed to pop into the city centre yesterday to get a few shots of evening Euros and the likes.

 

Broadstone based VT42 is noted here operating peak-time Xpresso Service 67X to Maynooth. VT42 is one of eight VTs now based in Broadstone depot operating peak-time only services 33X/66X/67X. Broadstone have lost several VTs recently, with VT48-51 moving last year, and VT44-7 having moved in singularly since.

Dublin Bus, (Broadstone Garage), Volvo B9TL, Alexander Dennis, Enviro 500, VT33, (07-D-70033), was photographed on 01 November 2010 turning right off Upper Baggot Street onto Waterloo Road while operating the Xpresso route 67X from Celbridge to UCD (Belfield).

 

At the time of the November 2010 photograph, the Xpresso 67X was a Monday to Friday service only had seven morning departures at 07:00, 07:10, 07:15, 07:25, 07:30, 07:45 and 07:50 and five evening departures: three from UCD (Belfield) at 16:15, 16:50 and 17:20 and two from St. Stephen's Green at 17:00 & 17:20.

 

In late 2005, 20 brand new VTs were delivered to Donnybrook Garage:

 

VT 1, (05-D-70001) to VT 20, (05-D-70020).

 

In 2007 a further 50 brand new VTs entered service at Phibsboro Garage:

 

VT 21, (07-D-70021) to VT 70, (07-D-70070).

 

In November 2010 as part of Network Direct when the route 145 was extended to/from Heuston Station and the Phibsboro operated route 10 was axed, VT 21 to VT 35 transferred from Phibsboro to Donnybrook Garage. At that stage, Donnybrook then had VT 1 to VT 35 and Broadstone had VT 36 to VT43 and Phibsboro had VT 44 to VT 70.

 

In December 2018, Donnybrook Garage withdrew from service their 2005 registered VTs, (VT1 - VT20).

 

All Dublin Bus VTs were built at the Alexander Dennis factory in Falkirk, Scotland and were delivered in the Dublin Bus navy/yellow fleet livery as above.

Dublin Bus AV 193 on D'Olier Street with a service on route 67X to UCD Belfield. 08/09/2015

NS 67X pulls up to a stop on the Gettysburg Industrial track at Mt. Holly Springs, PA with a pair of smokey ex-Conrail GP38-2's. The empty crude oil train would normally be heading back to the oil fields of the Bakken Formation but the price of oil has dropped considerably, prompting older tank cars like these to be placed into storage. Gettysburg and Northern will house the roughly 100 cars on their tracks until they are needed again.

Finally, DublinBus GT156 is noted here at the temporary stop on St. Stephen’s Green operating Service 67X to Maynooth.

 

Next update should be next Tuesday featuring some shots from Belfast.

Photo 1 - Broadstone's VT26 waits opposite the Salesian College, Celbridge ready to operate the 07:40 67X to Waterloo Road. (26th February 2007).

Roughly 100 empty tank cars stretch back over a mile from the city of Harrisburg across the Susquehanna River. NS 67X is heading west down the Lurgan Branch to Hagerstown and eventually Roanoke, VA. The tanker train is returning the empty cars to BNSF in Chicago. The odds are they will be refilled with Bakken crude oil and returned to an East Coast refinery as quickly as possible.
