And sadly probably the end of VWD 411;

Latest: Road cleared and reopened after bus struck railway bridge

The Bus Éireann vehicle was heading towards Blackpool when it struck a railway bridge at the end of Dublin Hill shortly after 9am.

So the news.

The 216 will be going fully double decker operated at the start of 2024.
Well that is dependent on the Roxboro depot in Limerick getting their charging infrastructure up and running as the existing VWD and PAD vehicles are due to transfer down here as soon as the new all Electric fleet goes on the road in Limerick.

As previously mentioned above VWD 411 is being repaired after that bridge strike on Dublin Hill.

Some brand new LF double deck coaches will be based in Capwell in January, while some of the older LC's and SC's are taken off front line services.

Are those old busses traded in or are they sold on privately?

They are auctioned off by a company up the country.
They tend to be bought by private companies here and in the UK.

So it is the start of the end for the Cork based red and white fleet.
Dumplin rule is phasing it out.
Here we have MC309, a 161 Cork bus which should be back in service down here tomorrow
Unfortunately they have to be done up there in that kip Tallaght :

Is it normal to repaint buses after 7 or so years?
