Alexander Dennis Enviro 400ER City 11m #PAD 89
18 czerwca 2021 - Galway, Headford Road (R866).407, diagram 4070302: Bóthar an Chóiste 13.45 → Eyre Square 14.05
The hybrid just left bus stop 524101 Galway Centre - the name not referring in the least to the city centre, but to a shopping centre... not that stop naming has been a strong suit of the National Transport Authority, even if it`s somewhat better than the individual operators. The opposite-headed stop at this location, number 523721, is called Galway Retail Park.
One last photo to capture the nearside of these buses - amongst other things, the only externally located operator`s logo, or the plug-type second door, which is actually the standard for all dual-door double-deckers ordered in the last decade.

Alexander Dennis Enviro 400ER City 11m #PAD 84
29 maja 2021 - Galway, Eyre Square East, R336.409: Eyre Square - Parkmore Industrial Estate
Starting with the first half of April, hybrid double-deckers manufactured by Alexander Dennis purchased for use on PSO routes by the National Transport Authority have started to appear on Irish roads. As of writing this description, 280 units have been ordered out of a fraemwork contract for up to 600 vehicles. The first batch to have been ordered is for 100 buses, wherein the first 74 are for the capital`s Operator, Dublin Bus, to be split between four garages, and the remaining 26 for Bus Éireann`s Galway city routes. These buses feature the ability to travel approx. 2.5 km on the electric engine alone and are equipped with sockets for garage charging (they are so-called plug-in hybrids). In terms of appearance they stand out by their new livery, which is a mix of compromises between everybody (in particular those who should have no business in this), as well as white LED scrolls (aside from a test scroll on Dublin Bus` SG471, NTA has been ordering orange LEDs to date).

Volvo B7RLE / Wright Eclipse Urban #VWL185
10 stycznia 2021 - Galway, Eyre Square North, R863.419: Oughterard → Galway
A very unexpected sighting. Rte 419 is a regional route which simply shouldn`t have city buses on it (road aside, the speeds are another story - city buses in Ireland are limited to 65 kph). I`m not exactly sure of the diagram of this bus, but it`s quite possible the same bus went out to Clifden soon afterwards - a trip three times as long as this from Oughterard (78.4 km vs 27.6 km).

Volvo B7RLE / Wright Eclipse Urban #VWL169
4 grudnia 2020 - Galway, Kingston Road and Shangort Road junction.402: Merlin Park Hospital → Seacrest
The 12-year-old single-decker is only one stop away from its terminus. Bus Éireann Galway deploys at least 27 buses Monday to Friday, but the number may be higher. With 24 double-deckers in the garage single-deckers are still needed. This should change early next year, however, as new double-decker hybrids will be brought into service. These hybrids have been purchased as part of a framework contract for the supply of up to 600 buses for Public Service Obligation contract routes.

Volvo B5TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 #VWD410
6 grudnia 2020 - Galway, Eyre Square North, R863.405: Rahoon → Ballybane Ind. Estate
Should a network expansion occur (which is something not being mentioned by media when it comes to Galway), VWD410 seen here should not be endangered by the hybrid buses... Endangered meaning not removal from service (it`s only a 2-year-old bus after all), but transfer to another garage.

Volvo B5TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 #VWD431
21 czerwca 2020 - Galway, Costello Road.402: Seacrest → Merlin Park Hospital
And the lost sheep has been found - VWD431 was the last of the 429-432 batch to enter revenue service. This batch was delayed maybe by even a year, but was finally delivered to Galway in May.
