It is a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group. HistoryWith the aim of improving efficiency, in 2015 the National Transport Authority put the operation of 24 Dublin Bus routes out to tender.[1] In August 2017 the contract was awarded to the Go-Ahead Group.[2][3][4] This represented 10% of the incumbent operator Dublin Bus existing monopoly operated network. Go-Ahead Ireland commenced operating one new route, 175 from Citywest to University College Dublin, on 9 September 2018.[5] A further four transferred from Dublin Bus on 7 October, then another three on 21 October, four on 2 December, nine on 20 January 2019 and a final three transferred on 24 March 2019 by when the fleet grew to 125 buses after taking over all its services that were scheduled to commence operation on.[6][7][8][9] The contract is for five years with an option for a two-year extension.[10][11][12] RoutesDublin routesNote: The origin and destination routes are reversed on the return journey
Former Bus Éireann routesGo-Ahead Ireland is scheduled to take over the operation of a further six routes from Dublin to Offaly, Laois, Kildare and Meath from Bus Éireann in mid 2019.[13][14] FleetGo-Ahead Ireland commenced operations with nine buses.[15] By the time it takes over its final routes from Dublin Bus in January 2019, the fleet is scheduled to expand to 125 buses comprising 24 new Wright Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TLs and 40 Wright StreetLites, with 12 Wright Gemini 2 bodied Volvo B9TLs and 49 Wright Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TLs to transfer from Dublin Bus. It was later decided that an extra 8 double decker buses were required in order to be able to fulfill the full quantity of routes due to transfer these buses were diverted from an order of Wright Gemini 3 Volvo B5TL buses orginally meant for Dublin Bus bringing the fleet up to 133 buses. [16] Ten Mercedes-Benz Citaros and five Wright Gemini bodied Volvo B7TLs were transferred from Oxford Bus Company and Go-Ahead London as driver trainers.[17][18] Go-Ahead Ireland's fleet is managed from its primary depot on the site of a former DHL Express depot in Ballymount.[19] References1. ^[https://dublingazette.com/news/nta-put-bus-routes-tender/ NTA to put bus routes to tender] Dublin Gazette 5 February 2015 2. ^[https://www.nationaltransport.ie/news/nta-announces-go-ahead-preferred-bidder-bus-routes-dublin/ NAT Announces Go-Ahead as preferred bidder for bus routes in Dublin] National Transport Authority 10 August 2017 3. ^[https://www.goaheadlondon.com/news/post/go-ahead-group-awarded-outer-dublin-metropolitan-area-bus-contract Go-Ahead Group awarded Outer Dublin, Metropolitan Area bus contract] Go-Ahead London August 2017 4. ^[https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/dublin-bus-loses-control-of-24-bus-routes-serving-suburbs-1.3182303 Dublin Bus loses control of 24 bus routes serving suburbs] The Irish Times 10 August 2017 5. ^[https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/first-buses-in-ireland-run-by-british-firm-begin-services-867786.html First buses in Ireland run by British firm begin services] 6. ^"Go-Ahead set to run two dozen outer Dublin routes" Buses issue 751 October 2017 page 7 7. ^[https://www.go-aheaddublin.ie/newsroom-2/go-ahead-ireland-opens-new-depot-dublin/ Go-Ahead Ireland Opens New Depot in Dublin] Go-Ahead Ireland 9 July 2018 8. ^This is what buses will look line on 24 Dublin bus routes later this year TheJournal.ie 9 July 2018 9. ^[https://www.go-aheaddublin.ie/newsroom-2/go-ahead-gears-autumn-schedules/ Go-Ahead gears up for Autumn schedules] Go-Ahead Ireland 10. ^[https://www.nationaltransport.ie/news/nta-announces-go-ahead-preferred-bidder-bus-routes-dublin/ NAT Announces Go-Ahead as preferred bidder for bus routes in Dublin] National Transport Authority 10 August 2017 11. ^[https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/dublin-bus-loses-control-of-24-bus-routes-serving-suburbs-1.3182303 Dublin Bus loses control of 24 bus routes serving suburbs] Irish Times 10 August 2017 12. ^[https://cbwmagazine.com/go-ahead-awarded-outer-dublin-metropolitan-area-bus-contract/ Go-Ahead awarded outer Dublin metropolitan area bus contract] Coach & Bus Week 10 August 2017 13. ^"Go-Ahead awarded Dublin Commuter Routes" Coach & Bus Week issue 1334 20 March 2018 page 8 14. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20180611101107/http://www.route-one.net/articles/Contract_win/Go_Ahead_wins_second_Dublin_contract Go-Ahead wins second Dublin contract] Route One 20 March 2018 15. ^"Go-Ahead Ireland starts operating service 175" Coach & Bus Week issue 1359 11 September 2018 page 12 16. ^"Go-Ahead Ireland to use Wrightbus fleet" Coach & Bus Week issue 1349 3 July 2018 page 7 17. ^"Fleet News" Buses issue 760 July 2018 page 91 18. ^"Fleet News" Buses issue 762 September 2018 page 91 19. ^[https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/uk-bus-group-goahead-gets-green-light-for-depot-36609443.html UK bus group Go-Ahead gets green light for depot] ''Irish Independent 16 February 2018 {{Dublin transport}}{{Go-AheadGroup}} 4 : Bus transport in the Republic of Ireland|Go-Ahead Group companies|Transport companies established in 2018|2018 establishments in Ireland |
