Great to see the bus in its natural habitat doing what it does best.

Approaching the Blanketstown roundabout?

Despite Tubberman's filthy windscreen, doesn't the bus look magnificent. Hopefully, the bus will be a regular sight up and down that road in years to come.
+1.

Well would you look at what was ahead of me on the M50 this evening!
Apologies for the dirty state of my windscreen which does nothing to convey the true majesty of The Bus.
They must have been up on a reconnaissance mission to Croker ahead of the D2 finale.


It might just be part of a Rossie scheme to get Mayo drivers to crash their cars while taking photos.

Were any of those cars actually overtaking the bus or were they just basking in its reflected glory?
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Cant imagine anybody having the audacity to overtake that work of art

Well I certainly didn't. I followed at a respectful distance until it veered off down the N4 where I believe cars pulled into the hard shoulder to allow it proceed unhindered as far as Tarmonbarry where there was a flotilla waiting on the Shannon to ceremoniously mark the crossing into Connacht.

I always think passing the Welcome to Connacht sign on that road in Athlone  that the opposite side should say "welcome to Hell "

I thought being parked around the Ros goals was its natural habitat

Going to have serious mileage put up before this year is out, I'd say. I can picture the Done Deal ad already.
