Coras Iompair Eireann 'D480'

            In 1985 Galway garage repainted D480 into two tone green. 

Many buses in Ireland over the years caried green in one form or another. The Bombardier double deck  fleet introduced from 1981 on returned city buses to green. However a decision was taken that the older Leylands would not receive this livery! Galway bucked the trend and re-painted D480 in the same green as the KD class Bombardiers, even with the thin black  line. As such it was the only Atlantean to run for CIE in green.

 In 1987 it transferred to Dublin. Allocated to Donnybrook Garage, it set another trend by wearing the new training school red and white livery, another first for D480.
