DSCF6460 Mulleys Motorways X179 CHJ (00D 40014)

Friday 14 November 2014 (1456) - Mulleys Motorways X179 CHJ was new as Dublin Bus AV14 (00D 40014) in September 2000. There are a number of interior signs which remain from its days in Ireland. The lower sign tells of the bus being fitted with a door brake. For those familiar with the vocabulary and expletives used by 'the Queen of Dublin town' (Mrs Brown that is) the feature is a feckin' nuisance! Before the bus can move off the door has to close and the footbrake pressed before the handbrake is released. How the Dublin city bus drivers kept to schedule goodness only knows. The sister vehicle (former AV107) acquired by Mulleys at the same time thankfully does have the 'refinement'.
