Dublin Bus || Volvo B7TL Alexander ALX400 AX638 (06-D-30638) || Route 15
If you asked me what my favourite Donnybrook AX is, I would say 646 with it's lovely turbo but actually I'd say 638, with it's nice grumbly revs because I'm a real lightweight for beefy AXs. And as some of yous might have figured it out yourselves, I thought I'd start uploading more mainstream routes again since I've been focused heavily on the Euros and Xpressos. And since the 15 is a dual door route, it's quite an unusual thing to see the likes of an AX on it nowadays. But luckily, that doesn't mean it's a rare thing as every now and then, Donnybrook will put at least 2 AXs on the 15 if there's not enough available dual door buses. Enjoy folks!
