About Preserved Irish Transport .com
Preserved Irish Transport.com is dedicated the bus preservation scene in the Republic of Ireland. Formally the website for the Transport Enthusiasts Club of Ireland, this website has now incorporated all major contributors in the both the preservation and historical fields. In the coming months, a new interactive system will be launched to cover both of these areas.
The small group of preservationists in Ireland currently house some 100 + buses with the vast majority formally operated by the state companies C.I.E, Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann, Interests also include buses built in Ireland such as the Bombardier family. To date, the vehicles cover the period from 1947 - 1993.
Thanks to co-operation with the C.I.E companies, Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus, preservationists has been able to preserve the majority of vehicle types which were operated by the state companies.
Restoration of vehicles is always happening - the last project was former Dublin Bus Leyland Olympian RH7. The restored vehicles have been on various rally circuits over the years. There are currently 3 buses undergoing restoration as of March 2010.
The restored buses have appeared in many films and television programs such as 'A Man of No Importance' and more recently in a advertisement for 'Club Orange' with Bedford school bus, SS747. In March 2010, buses for a feature on RTEs Capital D, RH7, D635 and DF839 were featured. This is available to view on our YouTube channel.
For years, the Transport Enthusiasts Club of Ireland ran the Dublin Bay Rallies which took place annually in conjunction with C.I.E. It is hoped to have these events again soon, the last one being the 60th anniversary of C.I.E in 2005.
Events attended include the annual I.T.T rally in Cultra Belfast Showbus in Cambrideshire and numerous other vintage rallies. Runs around Dublin City are done on a regular basis in many different buses.
This website nor is contributors/associates receive funding from any private or state body. Restorations, costs and storage are all paid for by the vehicles owners. The buses are not used for commercial service however are available for hire for film work etc.
