Trivia: Buses at ferry ports

[railwaytrack]

Does anyone know what buses are currently used at each ferry port in the UK and Ireland?

Dover used to have a fleet of Optare Excel buses (i think there was at least six of them and maybe more) but they disappeared when the corona virus started and i am not sure what is used nowadays?

Newhaven still seems to have R223 HCD in use at their ferry port. That replaced an old step entrance Dennis Dart bus.

I am sure there was an Dennis Dart SLF Caetano Compass bus T417 LGP at Holyhead or Fishguard or Pembroke but i am not sure if that is still there?

I think most ferry ports that take foot passengers have buses there.

I would appreciate any information on what buses are currently used at each ferry port?

Irish Ferries uses Mini Pointer Dart NK53 TMY to transport foot passengers on and off Blue Star I, which sails between Rosslare and Pembroke Dock. The Dart parks on board and undertakes two return sailings a day.

Operations at Portsmouth International Port are generally in the hands of operator Baileys Buses. There was a bit of a fleet clear out during Covid, perhaps partly due to the Portsmouth CAZ, which saw some BMCs and others go. The current fleet seems to consist of Citaros BK10 MVL, GX12 KHG, GX12 KKN and BD15 XZL (but this might not be a definitive list).

Portsmouth was a Citaro when I used the port in March.
