Mr. Tim Gaston:

The contract with Go-Ahead picks the 21 services that were identified in the contract with Dublin Bus, so it will operate those on very similar alignments. There will be some improvements to the timetables. We will run later in the evening and will run increased frequencies but run essentially the same routes with one new route that Go-Ahead will operate. Everything else will be identical. The bus will be the same bar the livery. The Leap card ticketing system will work exactly as is, as will real-time passenger information and everything else. There will be a step change with Go-Ahead because of the Government commitment that was made that no driver will be required to leave Dublin Bus. These are additional services. We are working with Dublin Bus to deploy those drivers and vehicles once the Go-Ahead contract comes into place to enhance services across a wide range of other bus services.
