Seems opening windows be it a hot day or cold when they get on board a
bus is an obsession with some people.


Nah, we just like to have some fresh air blowing around us and don't
want to sit sweltering in the heat. Perhaps you should put on an extra
layer if you're feeling a bit parky, while we're all boiling away?

Well then,many of you will be excited and delighted to know that several of
those ex-tent vehicles are still extant (Sorry !) and happily struggling
around Dublin.

First Groups Irish subsidiary Aircoach has been utilizing them on a recently
gained contract servicing a circular route around Dublins Phoenix Park.

The air-con however appears to be non functional although the Daf`s still
purport to run (occasionally) on Gas of some description.

Was it actually aircon, or just the giant fans in the back that just

It's got 3 big fansa at the back and a unit above the stairs. Between
the 2, along the right hand ceiling of the top deck (where the adverts
usually are) is a line of slots from which comes the cold air.

There was actually cold air coming from them yesterday, the water
stopped pouring out of th stair unit once a few of the windows were
closed. The driver mentioned a malfunctioning air conditioning unit on
the PA system

The new 135 route seems to have the same kind of unit on the upper
deck.
