CIE R827, CYI629, is a Leyland OPD2/10 with a CIE H37/31R body new in 1958.
Following withdrawal from service in 1976 it spent many years with Smiths of Palmerstown before moving to the Shannon & Lee collection near Cork (as seen). In 2003 it went to the Kells Transport Museum, but in 2012 it was reported to be in a derelict condition. In 2023 it was moved into storage near Dublin for possible restoration.
