AllAboutBuses invites you to banish the Monday morning back-to-work blues with a spot of time travel . .
This week we jump back in time to around 1980, when CIE was still the sole operator linking Dublin with its airport, and really didn’t have to try too hard in terms of vehicle quality . .
At the dawn of the 1980s, CIE’s bus fleet still consisted of Leylands of many varieties, and little else.
Atlanteans and halfcab Titans (PD3s) for city services, and Leopards in various forms for city and rural bus services, with VanHool bodied examples for coach tours . . and a handful of rather down-at-heel Plaxtons too, some of which could be found on the airport service, where they represented a step up from the bus bodied C-class Leopards which had been used through most of the 70s.
PL25 is looking a bit tired in this photo at Busarus.

Absolute classic. I don’t think the picture helps. The bus doesn’t look that tired.
