An easy way to spot a DT is that they've got a square grille on the offside.

If it's a low number 03. Then it's a DT. There's usuaally 2/3 0's in front of it. There are some minor details, Rear Window etc... but not much. The DT runs smoother than a AV I think Ringo on "DTs" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/4479#post-4497 Fri, 23 Dec 2005 08:26:41 +0000 Ringo 4497@http://busrage.com/forum/ They will be going to be put into new livery in 2006 under the 3 year repaint scheme - <a href="http://p201.ezboard.com/fbustravelirelandfrm7.showMessageRange?topicID=1608.topic&start=261&stop=274" >Garáiste</a> Darren Johnson on "DTs" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/4479#post-4492 Thu, 22 Dec 2005 15:49:34 +0000 Darren Johnson 4492@http://busrage.com/forum/ Or maybe <a href="http://www.dublinbus.ie/about_us/double_decks.asp">Dublin Bus</a> do... <a href="http://homepage.eircom.net/~dbroutehistory">My Site</a> lisa on "DTs" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/4479#post-4491 Thu, 22 Dec 2005 11:43:49 +0000 lisa 4491@http://busrage.com/forum/ tessie - you seem to know your veichel s a lot Anonymous on "DTs" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/4479#post-4489 Tue, 20 Dec 2005 22:02:27 +0000 Anonymous 4489@http://busrage.com/forum/ DT - Transbus Trident 2 low-floor accessible chassis with ALX400 bodywork by Transbus Alexander (Falkirk).

DT4 is often seen on the 42A/43. The main difference is they have a cummin engine me thinks...Not to sure though [posted by: Daz42c] Anonymous on "DTs" http://busrage.com/forum/topic/4479#post-4479 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 21:05:11 +0000 Anonymous 4479@http://busrage.com/forum/ According to the Db website there are ten DTs operating from Harristown since 2003. I have yet to see one, does anybody know on which routes they operate?,and are they just jazzed up AVs? [posted by: David]
