2023 - Update 1:


Summerhill's temporarily reinstated AX493 is seen operating Route 15A on Merrion Square South on a harshly lit 15th December 2022, its final day of operation there. The outside storage has not treated its mega-T offside ad-frame well, with only a small section still connected, the rest of the advert outlined only in the adhesive strip that normally binds the ad-frame to the bus (click on photo for larger version).

Summerhill recently had to send some of its PAs for some TLC and reinstated a number of buses which had been off service and stored in Ardee for quite sometime. The buses in question were:

  • AX493: Former Ringsend Bus, withdrawn from Ringsend in September 2021 , returning to service in Summerhill on the 23rd November 2022 and being withdrawn from service on the 15th December 2022.
  • AX615: Former Donnybrook Bus, withdrawn from Donnybrook in September 2021 , returning to service in Summerhill on the 28th November 2022 and being withdrawn from service on the 10th December 2022.
  • AX617: Former Donnybrook Bus, withdrawn from Donnybrook in September 2021, returning to service in Summerhill on the 30th November 2022 and being withdrawn from service on the 8th December 2022.
  • EV26: Former Donnbrook Bus, withdrawn from Donnybrook in December 2021, returning to service in Summerhill on the 28th November 2022 and being withdrawn from service on the 12th December 2022.
  • EV29: Former Donnbrook Bus, withdrawn from Donnybrook in January 2022, returning to service in Summerhill on the 24th November 2022 and being withdrawn from service on the 9th December 2022.
