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?

DT's operate EURO duties you would be most likely to see them on the 37/8/9 & 70. DT4 is often seen on the 42A/43. The main difference is they have a cummin engine me thinks...Not to sure though

How To Notice / Spot a DT: I find that it is easier to look at the Regplate. 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 thinkPosted 2 years ago #

Don’t know why, but I just find it rather amusing that Dublin Bus now has a vehicle class that could be interpreted to stand for "delirium tremens"...(it’s like the worst "drunken Irishman" jokes you’ve ever heard)

Cummins engined buses do in fact seem smoother - the RA's are a lot smoother than the newer RV's for example. An easy way to spot a DT is that they've got a square grille on the offside.

Another easy way to spot a DT from a distance is the raised dash board, you will notice the higher grey area in the left of the windscreen.
