Dublin Bus || Volvo B7TL Alexander ALX400 AX638 (06-D-30638) || Route 11
Right, where do I start my rant? So here I was, filming AX638 heading out of town into Ranelagh. And at the moment I got into Ranelagh, some septum ringed chubba-chubbs deliberately decided to sit in front of me despite the fact that A: She definitely knew I was filming the bus and B: when I swear on my life that there were plenty of other free seats at the back. I had planned on carrying on filming through Clonskeagh and into Sandyford but hey, at the end of the day we live in a free country and it is public transport I suppose (😁😁). With my mini-rant over, lets cut straight to the footage I did get. In general, I usually don't find Donnybrook's fleet very interesting but since I've never actually done a video of the 11 before, I've wanting to do one of it for a good while now and when I managed to hunt down AX638 here on Monday, I decided it wouldn't be a bad way to do my first video of the 11 at all. Enjoy folks!
