Commuters targeted as luxury double-deckers launched

LUXURY continental-style double-decker coaches aimed at commuter belt towns are set to hit the streets next year.

Bus Éireann confirmed yesterday it will be taking delivery of a fleet of 32 VDL Berkhof Axial 100 double-deck coaches on a phased basis from next year.

Most will be allocated to the eastern region for use on the Navan-Dublin route, where most commuters travel up to 100 kilometres a day.
